Abstract

It was recently shown that odd-frequency superconducting pair amplitudes can be induced in conventional superconductors subjected to a spatially nonuniform time-dependent drive. It has also been shown that, in the presence of interband scattering, multiband superconductors will possess bulk odd-frequency superconducting pair amplitudes. In this work we build on these previous results to demonstrate that by subjecting a multiband superconductor with interband scattering to a time-dependent drive, even-frequency pair amplitudes can be converted to odd-frequency pair amplitudes and vice versa. We will discuss the physical conditions under which these pair symmetry conversions can be achieved and possible experimental signatures of their presence.
