Odd-frequency pairing of Bogoliubov quasiparticles in superconductor junctions

We study a superconductor Josephson junction with a Bogoliubov Fermi surface, employing McMillan's Green's function technique. The low-energy degrees of freedom are described by spinless fermions (bogolons), where the characteristic feature appears as an odd-frequency pair potential. The differential equation of the Green's function is reduced to the eigenvalue problem of the non-Hermitian effective Hamiltonian. The physical quantities such as the density of states and pair amplitude are then extracted from the obtained Green's function. We find that the zero energy local density of states at the interface decreases as the relative phase of the Josephson junction increases. This decrease is accompanied by the generation of an even-frequency pair amplitude near the interface. We also clarify that the $\ensuremath{\pi}$-junction-like current phase relation is realized in terms of bogolons. In contrast to conventional $s\text{\ensuremath{-}}\mathrm{wave}$ superconductor junctions, where even-frequency pairs dominate in the bulk and odd-frequency pairs are generated near the interface, our findings illuminate the distinct behaviors of junctions with Bogoliubov Fermi surfaces. We further explore spatial dependencies of these physical quantities systematically using quasiclassical Green's functions.

Abstract

We study a superconductor Josephson junction with a Bogoliubov Fermi surface, employing McMillan's Green's function technique. The low-energy degrees of freedom are described by spinless fermions (bogolons), where the characteristic feature appears as an odd-frequency pair potential. The differential equation of the Green's function is reduced to the eigenvalue problem of the non-Hermitian effective Hamiltonian. The physical quantities such as the density of states and pair amplitude are then extracted from the obtained Green's function. We find that the zero energy local density of states at the interface decreases as the relative phase of the Josephson junction increases. This decrease is accompanied by the generation of an even-frequency pair amplitude near the interface. We also clarify that the $\ensuremath{\pi}$-junction-like current phase relation is realized in terms of bogolons. In contrast to conventional $s\text{\ensuremath{-}}\mathrm{wave}$ superconductor junctions, where even-frequency pairs dominate in the bulk and odd-frequency pairs are generated near the interface, our findings illuminate the distinct behaviors of junctions with Bogoliubov Fermi surfaces. We further explore spatial dependencies of these physical quantities systematically using quasiclassical Green's functions.
