โฆ Synopsis
We derive a generalized Nazarov's boundary condition for diffusive normal metal (DN)/chiral p-wave superconductor (CP) interface including the macroscopic phase of the superconductor. The Josephson effect is studied in CP/DN/CP junctions solving the Usadel equations under the above boundary condition. We find that, enhancement of a critical current at low temperature is small compared with that in p x -wave /DN/p x -wave junctions. As a result, temperature dependence of the critical current in these junctions is similar to that in conventional junctions. The result is consistent with the experiment in Sr 2 RuO 4 -Sr 3 RuO 7 eutectic junctions. Similar feature is also found in current-phase relation.

Enhanced superconductivity in the eutectic system Sr 2 RuO 4 -Ru is referred to as the 3-K phase of Sr 2 RuO 4 because of its enhanced superconducting transition temperature T c of $3 K whilst the superconductivity in Sr 2 RuO 4 (T c of $1.5 K) is called the 1.5-K phase. We describe basic properties
