Triplet contribution to the Josephson current in the nonequilibrium superconductor/ferromagnet/superconductor junction

The Josephson current through a long s-wave superconductor/weak ferromagnet/s-wave superconductor weak link is studied theoretically in the regime of nonequilibrium spin-dependent occupation of electron states in the ferromagnetic interlayer. While under the considered nonequilibrium conditions, the standard supercurrent, carried by the singlet part of current-carrying density of states, practically is not modified, the additional supercurrent flowing via the triplet part of the current-carrying density of states appears. Depending on voltage, controlling the particular form of spin-dependent nonequilibrium in the interlayer, this additional current can enhance or reduce the usual current of the singlet component and also switch the junction between 0 and pi states.
