Non-equilibrium charge and spin transport in SFS point contacts
The conventional Josephson effect may be modified by introducing spin-active scattering in the interfacelayer of the junction. Here, we discuss a Josephson junction consisting of two s-wave superconducting leads coupled over a classical spin that precesses with the Larmor frequency due to an external magnetic field. This magnetically active interface results in a time-dependent boundary conditi...
متن کاملSpontaneous spin polarization in quantum point contacts.
We use spatial spin separation by a magnetic focusing technique to probe the polarization of quantum point contacts. The point contacts are fabricated from p-type GaAs/AlGaAs heterostructures. A finite polarization is measured in the low-density regime, when the conductance of a point contact is tuned to < 2e2/h. Polarization is stronger in samples with a well-defined "0.7 structure."
متن کاملCharge and spin transport in mesoscopic superconductors
BACKGROUND Non-equilibrium charge transport in superconductors has been investigated intensely in the 1970s and 1980s, mostly in the vicinity of the critical temperature. Much less attention has been paid to low temperatures and the role of the quasiparticle spin. RESULTS We report here on nonlocal transport in superconductor hybrid structures at very low temperatures. By comparing the nonloc...
متن کاملTheory of charge transport in diffusive normal metalÕconventional superconductor point contacts
Tunneling conductance in diffusive normal ~DN! metal/insulator/s-wave superconductor junctions is calculated for various situations by changing the magnitudes of the resistance and Thouless energy in DN and the transparency of the insulating barrier. The generalized boundary condition introduced by Nazarov @Superlattices and Microstructures 25, 1221 ~1999!# is applied, where the ballistic theor...
متن کاملSpectroscopy of phonons and spin torques in magnetic point contacts.
Phonon spectroscopy is used to investigate the mechanism of current-induced spin torques in nonmagnetic/ferromagnetic (N/F) point contacts. Magnetization excitations observed in the magneto-conductance of the point contacts are pronounced for diffusive and thermal contacts, where the electrons experience significant scattering in the contact region. We find no magnetic excitations in highly bal...
