Mitochondria have long been known to sequester cytosolic Ca and even to shape intracellular patterns of endoplasmic reticulum -based Ca signaling. Accumulating evidence suggests that the mitochondrial network is an excitable medium which can demonstrate Ca induced Ca release via the mitochondrial permeability transition. The role of this excitability remains unclear, but mitochondrial Ca handli...

Motivated by a recent experiment [Keizer et al., Nature (London) 439, 825 (2006)], we study the Josephson effect in superconductor/diffusive half metal/superconductor junctions using the recursive Green function method. The spin-flip scattering at the junction interfaces opens the Josephson channel of the odd-frequency spin-triplet Cooper pairs. As a consequence, the local density of states in ...
