[{"article_number":"154510","volume":114,"abstract":[{"text":"<jats:p>The influence of chiral molecular potentials on phase-coherent transport in superconducting Josephson junctions is investigated. Within a Bogoliubov–de Gennes tight-binding framework, a superconducting-normal-superconducting (SNS) junction functionalized by adsorbed chiral molecules is modeled, where electrostatic gradients generated by the molecules induce spin-orbit coupling in the normal region. The equilibrium charge current-phase relation is found to remain largely insensitive to molecular chirality in symmetric, zero-field configurations. In contrast, the spin-polarized equilibrium current exhibits a pronounced chirality-dependent response, with opposite enantiomers producing distinct and anisotropic spin-polarized Josephson currents. The resulting handedness contrast can be enhanced through control parameters such as molecular orientation and the strength of the induced spin-orbit coupling. The temperature dependence of these currents further shows that the chirality-dependent signatures persist across a range of temperatures well below the superconducting critical temperature. These results identify Josephson interferometry as a phase-sensitive setting for probing chirality-dependent spin structure and highlight spin-polarized superconducting transport as a controlled route toward integrating chiral molecular functionality into superconducting spintronic devices.</jats:p>","lang":"eng"}],"arxiv":1,"file":[{"file_size":645485,"date_created":"2026-10-06T13:19:31Z","success":1,"date_updated":"2026-10-06T13:19:31Z","relation":"main_file","access_level":"open_access","file_name":"2026_PhysicalReviewB_Kuliashov.pdf","creator":"dernst","file_id":"23066","content_type":"application/pdf","checksum":"784eb7e99c17ecacff5d69c7faf857b6"}],"OA_type":"hybrid","date_updated":"2026-10-06T13:25:35Z","intvolume":"       114","supplementarymaterial":"yes","language":[{"iso":"eng"}],"year":"2026","project":[{"grant_number":"12078","_id":"8fa7db46-16d5-11f0-9cad-917600954daf","name":"Polarons in Lead Halide Perovskites"}],"type":"journal_article","PlanS_conform":"1","publisher":"American Physical Society","OA_place":"publisher","publication_status":"published","fulldoi":"https://doi.org/10.1103/s1jn-fq4d","oa_version":"Published Version","oa":1,"article_processing_charge":"Yes (via OA deal)","_id":"22976","title":"Supercurrents in Josephson junctions with chiral molecular potentials","department":[{"_id":"MiLe"}],"date_created":"2026-09-22T05:47:09Z","publication_identifier":{"issn":["2469-9950"],"eissn":["2469-9969"]},"citation":{"chicago":"Kuliashov, Oleg, Alberto Cappellaro, Oded Millo, Yossi Paltiel, Mikhail Lemeshko, and Ragheed Al Hyder. “Supercurrents in Josephson Junctions with Chiral Molecular Potentials.” <i>Physical Review B</i>.
