Orbital Fulde-Ferrell-Larkin-Ovchinnikov state in an Ising superconductor

Abstract

The critical field behavior of a layered Ising superconductor with finite number of layers is studied. Under in-plane magnetic fields, the finite-momentum superconductivity dubbed as the orbital Fulde-Ferrell-Larkin-Ovchinnikov state is found in the regime of low field and high temperature. Our theory agrees well with the experimental results in Nature 619, 46 (2023)0028-083610.1038/s41586-023-05967-z.
