报告摘要:
The polar Kerr effect and the closely related anomalous charge Hall effect are among the most distinguishing signatures of some unconventional superconductors such as Sr2RuO4. These effects are often thought to be derived from chiral superconducting pairing and different mechanisms have been invoked for the explanation. However, the intrinsic mechanisms proposed previously often involve unrealistically strong interband Cooper pairing. In this talk I will show that, even without interband pairing, nonunitary superconducting states can support intrinsic anomalous charge Hall effect, thanks to the quantum geometric properties of the Bloch electrons. Applying our results to the weakly-paired Sr2RuO4 we conclude that, if the reported Kerr effect is of intrinsic origin, the superconducting state is most likely nonunitary and has odd-parity.
