Kondo effect in non-centrosymmetric superconductors

ORAL

Abstract

We investigate Kondo effect in non-centrosymmetric superconductors (SC). We apply a periodic Anderson model (PAM) with antisymmetric spin-orbital coupling (ASOC) for both singlet and triplet pairing. A Kondo region with finite resistance below superconducting transition temperature Tc is predicted. Kondo hybridization enhances Kondo transition temperature TK but reduces superconducting critical temperature Tc. While magnetic field suppresses singlet superconductivity, it stabilizes triplet pairing by screening out magnetic impurities, causing reentrant superconductivity at high field. However, the presence of antisymmetric spin-orbital coupling will suppress triplet superconductivity and lead to an upper critical field. Our findings provide a comprehensive understanding of superconducting phase diagrams of heavy fermion superconductor UTe2 and Co-doped NbSe2.
