چکیده

We calculate the tunneling conductance spectra of a ferromagnetic metal/insulator/superconductor using the Blonder-Tinkham-Klapwijk (BTK) formulation. Two possible states for the superconductor are considered with the time reversal symmetry (T) broken, i. both cases the tunneling conductance within the gap is suppressed with the increase of the exchange interaction due to the suppression of the Andreev reflection. In the (d x 2 −y 2 + is)-wave case the peaks that exist when the fer-romagnet is a normal metal in the amplitude of the s-wave component due to the bound state formation are reduced symmetrically, with the increase of the exchange field, while in the (d x 2 −y 2 + id xy)-wave case the residual density of states within the gap develops a dip around E = 0 with the increase of the exchange field. These results would be useful to discriminate between T-broken pairing states near the surface in high-T c superconductors.

Functional superconductor interfaces from broken time-reversal symmetry.

The breaking of time-reversal symmetry in a triplet superconductor Josephson junction is shown to cause a magnetic instability of the tunneling barrier. Using a Ginzburg-Landau analysis of the free energy, we predict that this novel functional behavior reflects the formation of an exotic Josephson state, distinguished by the existence of fractional flux quanta at the barrier. The crucial role o...

Charge current in ferromagnet - triplet superconductor junctions

We calculate the tunneling conductance spectra of a ferromagnetic metal / insulator / triplet superconductor from the reflection amplitudes using the Blonder-Tinkham-Klapwijk (BTK) formula. For the triplet superconductor, we assume one special p-wave order parameter, having line nodes, and two two dimensional f -wave order parameters with line nodes, breaking the time reversal symmetry. Also we...

Tunneling current in triplet f-wave superconductors with horizontal lines of nodes

We calculate the tunneling conductance spectra of a normalmetal/insulator/triplet superconductor using the Blonder-Tinkham-Klapwijk (BTK) formulation. Possible states for the superconductor are considered with horizontal lines of nodes, breaking the time reversal symmetry. These results would be useful to discriminate between pairing states in superonductor Sr2RuO4 and also in UPt3. 74.20. z, 7...

N=2 Supersymmetry and De Sitter Space Typeset Using Revt E X 1

We present a (unique?) possibility of de Sitter solution in the framework of N=2 supersymmetry (hypersymmetry). We show that a model with a vector and a charged hypermultiplet has a hybrid inflation type potential. It leads to a slow-roll regime in de Sitter type background with all supersymmetries broken spontaneously. Beyond the bifurcation point the waterfall stage abruptly brings the system...

Transport Properties of Ferromagnet-d-wave Superconductor Ferromagnet Double Junctions Typeset Using Revt E X 1

We investigate transport properties of a trilayer made of a d-wave supercon-ductor connected to two ferromagnetic electrodes. Using Keldysh formalism we show that crossed Andreev reflection and elastic cotunneling exist also with d-wave superconductors. Their properties are controlled by the existence of zero energy states due to the anisotropy of the d-wave pair potential.
