Point-contact tunneling involving low-dimensional spin-triplet superconductors.
We modify and extend previous microscopic calculations of tunneling in superconducting junctions based on a nonequilibrium Green function formalism to include the case of spin-triplet pairing. We show that distinctive features are present in the I-V characteristics of different kinds of junctions, in particular, when the effects of magnetic fields are taken into account, that permit to identify the type of pairing. We discuss the relevance of these results in the context of quasi-one-dimensional organic superconductors such as (TMTSF)2PF6 and layered compounds like Sr2RuO(4).
