Professor James Annett

Research summary

My research interests are in the theory of electronic structure of solids, with particular emphasis on theories of superconductors and systems with strong electron correlation. This especially includes high temperature superconductors and other unconventional superconductors possessing d-wave or p-wave pairing symmetry.  Currents project invovles the study of spin triplet Cooper pairs generated at the interface between an s-wave superconductor and a conical magent, and the study of singlet-triplet mixing in non-centrosymemtric superconducting materials.
