Examples of atoms in singlet, doublet, and triplet states. In quantum mechanics, a triplet state, or spin triplet, is the quantum state of an object such as an electron, atom, or molecule, having a quantum spin S = 1. It has three allowed values of the spin's projection along a given axis m S = −1, 0, or +1, giving the name "triplet".
His discovery of an antiferromagnetic neutron spin resonance in spin-triplet superconductor candidate UTe 2 is particularly important because it suggests that superconductivity in spin-triplet superconductors may also be driven by antiferromagnetic spin fluctuations instead of ferromagnetic spin fluctuations [29]
Early investigations [5] studied the coexistence of conventional s-wave superconductivity with itinerant ferromagnetism. However, the scenario of spin-triplet pairing soon gained the upper hand. [6] [7] A mean-field model for coexistence of spin-triplet pairing and ferromagnetism was developed in 2005. [8] [9]
The superscript three (read as triplet) indicates that the multiplicity 2S+1 = 3, so that the total spin S = 1. This spin is due to two unpaired electrons, as a result of Hund's rule which favors the single filling of degenerate orbitals. The triplet consists of three states with spin components +1, 0 and –1 along the direction of the total ...
Superconductivity in UTe 2 appears to be a consequence of triplet electrons spin-pairing. [2] The material acts as a topological superconductor, stably conducting electricity without resistance even in high magnetic fields. [1] It has superconducting transition temperature at Tc= 2K. [3]
The radical-pair mechanism explains how external magnetic fields can prevent radical-pair recombination with Zeeman interactions, the interaction between spin and an external magnetic field, and shows how a higher occurrence of the triplet state accelerates radical reactions because triplets can proceed only to products, and singlets are in ...
The spin-dependence of Andreev reflection gives rise to the Point contact Andreev reflection technique, whereby a narrow superconducting tip (often niobium, antimony or lead) is placed into contact with a normal material at temperatures below the critical temperature of the tip. By applying a voltage to the tip, and measuring differential ...
The classic case for ZFS is the spin triplet, i.e., the S=1 spin system. In the presence of a magnetic field, the levels with different values of magnetic spin quantum number (M S =0,±1) are separated and the Zeeman splitting dictates their separation. In the absence of magnetic field, the 3 levels of the triplet are isoenergetic to the first ...
