Ferromagnetic resonance with a magnetic Josephson junction

Ferromagnetic Josephson junction with precessing magnetization.

The Josephson current in a diffusive superconductor-ferromagnet-superconductor junction with precessing magnetization is calculated within the quasiclassical theory of superconductivity. When the junction is phase biased, a stationary current (without ac component) can flow through it despite the nonequilibrium condition. A large critical current is predicted due to a dynamically induced long r...

Superconducting pi qubit with a ferromagnetic Josephson junction.

Solid-state qubits have the potential for the large-scale integration and for the flexibility of layout for quantum computing. However, their short decoherence time due to the coupling to the environment remains an important problem to be overcome. We propose a new superconducting qubit which incorporates a spin-electronic device: the qubit consists of a superconducting ring with a ferromagneti...

Broadband ferromagnetic resonance linewidth measurement of magnetic tunnel junction multilayers

The broadband ferromagnetic resonance FMR linewidth of the free layer of magnetic tunnel junctions is used as a simple diagnostic of the quality of the magnetic structure. The FMR linewidth increases near the field regions of free layer reversal and pinned layer reversal, and this increase correlates with an increase in magnetic hysteresis in unpatterned films, low-frequency noise in patterned ...

Josephson Current in a Ferromagnetic Semiconductor/Semiconductor/Ferromagnetic Semiconductor Junction with Superconducting Contacts

Josephson junction with a magnetic-field tunable ground state.

We consider an asymmetric 0-π Josephson junction consisting of 0 and π regions of different lengths L(0) and L(π). As predicted earlier this system can be described by an effective sine-Gordon equation for the spatially averaged phase ψ so that the effective current-phase relation of this system includes a negative second harmonic ∝sin(2ψ). If its amplitude is large enough, the ground state of ...
