Abstract

Recently, the measurement of the polar Kerr effect (PKE) in the quasi two-dimensional superconductor Sr₂RuO₄, which is motivated to observe the chirality of p_x + ip_y-wave pairing, has been reported. We clarify that the PKE has intrinsic and extrinsic (disorder-induced) origins. The extrinsic contribution would be dominant in the PKE experiment.
