We study numerically the electronic heat capacity, spin and charge current in a diffusive Superconductor-Ferromagnetic-Superconductor systems، with singlet superconducting leads and non-uniform ferromagnetic layer. Specially, we focus on ferromagnetic layer with domain wall and conical structures incorporation the spin-active interfaces. We investigate, how the 0-π transition is influenced by n...
متن کاملDetection of small exchange fields in S/F structures
Ferromagnetic materials with exchange fields Eex smaller or of the order of the superconducting gap ∆ are important for applications of corresponding (s-wave) superconductor/ ferromagnet/ superconductor (SFS) junctions. Presently such materials are not known but there are several proposals how to create them. Small exchange fields are in principle difficult to detect. Based on our results we pr...
متن کاملObservation of spin-triplet superconductivity in Co-based Josephson junctions.
We have measured a long-range supercurrent in Josephson junctions containing Co (a strong ferromagnetic material) when we insert thin layers of either PdNi or CuNi weakly ferromagnetic alloys between the Co and the two superconducting Nb electrodes. The critical current in such junctions hardly decays for Co thicknesses in the range of 12-28 nm, whereas it decays very steeply in similar junctio...
متن کاملElectron transport in a mesoscopic superconducting / ferromagnetic hybrid conductor
We present electrical transport experiments performed on submicron hybrid devices made of a ferromagnetic conductor (Co) and a superconducting (Al) electrode. The sample was patterned in order to separate the contributions of the Co conductor and of the Co-Al interface. We observed a strong influence of the Al electrode superconductivity on the resistance of the Co conductor. This effect is lar...
متن کاملLarge interfacial exchange fields in a thick superconducting film coupled to a spin filter tunnel barrier
The differential conductance of NbN/GdN/TiN superconductor / ferromagnetic insulator / normal metal junctions, with a thick NbN layer shows a large zero-field voltage offset interpreted as a spin-filtered Zeeman splitting of the NbN density of states (DOS) by an effective exchange field (H0) from the GdN. The splitting increases linearly with applied field (Hext) enabling the relative sign of H...
