Outline of Final Research Achievements |
Through this research program, we obtained firm evidence for spin-triplet superconductivity of Sr2RuO4. We also obtained important information on the unusual first-order superconducting transition recently found in this oxide. Moreover, in the new spin-triplet superconductor candidate CuxBi2Se3, we found a novel superconducting state, namely the "nematic superconductivity", where the rotational symmetry is spontaneously broken in the superconducting gap amplitude. We also determined magnetic excitation that is related to the superconducting pairing glue in the ferromagnetic superconductor UCoGe. Overall, we performed comprehensive research on various spin-triplet superconductors and obtained important bases toward further investigation of the spin-triplet superconductivity, as well as of topological superconductivity, which is closely related to the spin-triplet superconductivity.
