Novel Josephson effect in triplet-superconductor-ferromagnet-triplet-superconductor junctions.
We predict a novel type of Josephson effect to occur in triplet-superconductor-ferromagnet-triplet-superconductor Josephson junctions. We show that the Josephson current, IJ, exhibits a rich dependence on the relative orientation between the ferromagnetic moment and the d vectors of the superconductors. This dependence can be used to build several types of Josephson current switches. Moreover, we predict an unconventional sign change of IJ with increasing temperature.
