Abstract

Cooper pairs in the superconductors are usually formed with pairs of electrons with opposite spins (spin singlet pair). Under certain circumstances, superconductors could have Cooper pairs formed with spin triplet pairs, which are called spin triplet superconductors. Spin triplet pairing is a very rare quantum phenomenon. Within the thousands of superconductors discovered so far, only a few are considered as the candidates for spin triplet pairing. In the recent years, driven by the interest in the topological phases of matter, spin triplet superconductors have attracted more attention from the research community, as they can potentially be the topological superconductors. In this article, we review the physical properties of the a few possible systems for spin triplet pairing.
