Abstract

We study the dynamical spin susceptibility χ(q,ω) for spin-triplet superconductivity. We show that a large peak at ω=2Δ appears in Imχzz(Q,ω), where z is the direction of the d vector for triplet pairing, if Fermi surface has a nested part with the nesting vector Q and the order parameters are +Δ and −Δ in this part of the Fermi surface. If there are line nodes in the nested part of the Fermi surface, a peak appears in either Imχzz(Q,ω) or Imχ+−(Q,ω), or both, depending on the perpendicular component of the nesting vector. The comparison with inelastic neutron-scattering experiments can determine the position of the line nodes in triplet superconductor Sr2RuO4.
