Abstract

A formula of spin currents in mesoscopic superconductors is derived from the mean-field theory of superconductivity. Spin flow is generated by spatial gradient of d⃗ which represents a spin state of spin-triplet superconductors. We discuss a possibility of circulating spin currents in isolated p-wave superconducting rings at the zero magnetic field. The direction of spin currents depends on topological numbers which characterize spatial configurations of d⃗ on the ring.
