Description

A spin-compensated half-metallic antiferromagnetic is shown to allow a new, axial type of superconductity, a state in which only one spin channel is superconducting. This S=1 triplet pairing state that arises from a unique type of normal state will differ markedly from conventional, heavy fermion, or high temperature superconductors. Characteristics of such a state are outlined, and guidelines for making promising candidates are presented
