Sr2RuO4
Professor Ying Liu
The Pennsylvania State University, University Park
Sr2RuO4, an odd-parity, chiral p-wave superconductor, is unique in that it
is the only known layered perovskite that becomes superconducting (at 1.5
K) without the presence of Cu and the only ruthenium oxide superconductor
known to date. In this talk, I will give a brief overview on odd-parity,
spin-triplet superconductivity and discuss our tunneling and phase-sensitive
measurements on bulk as well as the eutectic Ru-Sr2RuO4 phase (the socalled
3-K phase) of Sr2RuO4. I will also discuss issues on unconventional
mesoscopic superconductors.
