  • We theoretically investigate the supercurrent flow in a Josephson junction consisting of two spin-split superconductors combined by a normal metal weak link. The normal metal may be driven out of equilibrium, thus modifying the electron and hole occupation and consequently the supercurrent through the system. Considering first an equilibrium normal metal, we find that increasing the spin-splitting field can enhance the supercurrent strongly for long junctions at low temperatures. In contrast to previous work, this is a much larger enhancement (over 100%) and it is achieved for both parallel and antiparallel spin-splitting field configurations, making the effect robust. On the other hand, when a gate voltage is applied to drive the system out of equilibrium, we demonstrate a more efficient $π$-transition of the supercurrent in terms of a lower transition voltage by tuning the spin-splitting. Moreover, we find the application of temperature bias strongly suppresses the supercurrent, resulting in very sharp supercurrent jumps as outputs.
