چکیده
We consider trilayer ${\mathrm{F}}_{1}{\mathrm{F}}_{2}{\mathrm{F}}_{3}$ Josephson junctions that are finite in two dimensions and have arbitrary magnetizations each ferromagnet ${\mathrm{F}}_{i}\phantom{\rule{0.28em}{0ex}}(i=1,2,3)$. The trilayers sandwiched between $s$-wave superconductors with a macroscopic phase difference $\mathrm{\ensuremath{\Delta}}\ensuremath{\varphi}$. Our results reveal when the three orthogonal components, supercurrent can flow at $\mathrm{\ensuremath{\Delta}}\ensuremath{\varphi}=0$. With our generalized theoretical numerical techniques, we study planar spatial profiles $\mathrm{\ensuremath{\Delta}}\ensuremath{\varphi}$ dependencies of charge supercurrents, spin torques, density states. Remarkably, upon increasing magnetization strength central layer up to half-metallic limit, self-biased current induced second harmonic component become dramatically enhanced while critical reaches its maximum value. Additionally, for broad range exchange-field strengths orientations, ground state system be tuned an ${\ensuremath{\varphi}}_{0}$. For intermediate middle ${\mathrm{F}}_{2}$, ${\ensuremath{\varphi}}_{0}$ arise creates superconducting diode effect, whereby create one-way dissipationless flow. currents effective magnetic moments long-ranged torque phase. Moreover, states unveils emergence zero-energy peaks mutually configurations. suggest this simple junction excellent candidate producing experimentally accessible signatures supercurrents effects.

Spin Supercurrent
We review the main properties of Spin Waves condensation to a coherent quantum state, named Homogeneously Precessing Domain (HPD). We describe the long range coherent transport of magnetization by Spin Supercurrent in antiferromagnetic superfluid He. This quantum phenomenon was discovered 20 years ago. Since then, many magnetic extensions of superconductivity and superfluidity have been observe...
متن کاملNon-collinear Spin Valve Effect in Ferromagnetic Semiconductor Trilayers
Abstract We report the observation of the spin valve effect in (Ga,Mn)As/p-GaAs/(Ga,Mn)As trilayer devices. Magnetoresistance measurements carried out in the current in plane geometry reveal positive magnetoresistance peaks when the two ferromagnetic layers are magnetized orthogonal to each other. Measurements carried out for different post-growth annealing conditions and spacer layer thickness...

متن کاملHalf-metallic alloys: electronic structure, magnetism and spin polarization.
Using the state-of-the-art screened Korringa-Kohn-Rostoker Green function method we study the electronic and magnetic properties of NiMnSb and similar Heusler alloys. We show that all these compounds are half-metals, e.g. the minority-spin band is semiconducting and the Fermi level falls within this gap resulting in 100% spin polarization at the Fermi level. The total spin moment M(t) shows the...
متن کاملLaser-induced torques in metallic ferromagnets
We study laser-induced torques in bcc Fe, hcp Co, and L10 FePt based on first-principles electronic structure calculations and the Keldysh nonequilibrium formalism. We find that the torques have two contributions, one from the inverse Faraday effect (IFE) and one from the optical spin-transfer torque (OSTT). Depending on the ferromagnet at hand and on the quasiparticle broadening the two contri...
