Spin-flip Enhanced Thermoelectricity in Superconductor-Ferromagnet Bilayers
We study the effects of Zeeman-splitting and spin-flip scattering in a superconductor (S) on the thermoelectric properties of a tunneling contact to a metallic ferromagnet (F) using the Green’s function method. A giant thermopower has been theoretically predicted and experimentally observed in such structures. This huge thermoelectric effect is attributed to the spin-dependent particle-hole asy...
متن کاملEnergy gap of ferromagnet-superconductor bilayers
The excitation spectrum of clean ferromagnet-superconductor bilayers is calculated within the framework of the self-consistent Bogoliubov-de Gennes theory. Because of the proximity effect, the superconductor induces a gap in the ferromagnet spectrum, for thin ferromagnetic layers. The effect depends strongly on the exchange field in the ferromagnet. We find that as the thickness of the ferromag...
متن کاملSpin current in ferromagnet / insulator / superconductor junctions
A theory of spin polarized tunneling spectroscopy based on a scattering theory is given for tunneling junctions between ferromagnets and d-wave superconductors. The spin filtering effect of an exchange field in the insulator is also treated. We clarify that the properties of the Andreev reflection are largely modified due to a presence of an exchange field in the ferromagnets, and consequently ...
متن کاملPhase and spin dynamics in a superconductor/ferromagnet/superconductor junction
We study a phase dynamics induced by a spin dynamics in a ferromagnetic Josephson junction, in which two superconductors (SC’s) are separated by a ferromagnetic layer. A new phenomenological model for the phase variable is proposed by including the spin dynamics excited by the ferromagnetic resonance (FMR) in the gauge invariant phase of s-wave SC’s. We found that the current-voltage characteri...
متن کاملSpin-dependent transparency of ferromagnet/superconductor interfaces.
We combine parameter-free calculations of the transmission and reflection matrices for clean and dirty interfaces with a scattering-theory formulation of Andreev reflection (AR) generalized to spin-polarized systems in order to critically evaluate the use of an extended Blonder-Tinkham-Klapwijk (BTK) model to extract values of the spin polarization for ferromagnetic metals from measurements of ...
