Spin-dependent cooper pair phase and pure spin supercurrents in strongly polarized ferromagnets.
We study heterostructures of singlet superconductors and strongly spin-polarized ferromagnets and show that a relative phase arises between the superconducting proximity amplitudes in the two ferromagnetic spin bands. We find a tunable pure spin supercurrent in a spin-polarized ferromagnet contacted with only one superconductor electrode. We show that Josephson junctions are most effective for ...
متن کاملSpin-polarized Shapiro steps and spin-precession-assisted multiple Andreev reflection
We investigate the charge and spin transport of a voltage-biased superconducting point contact coupled to a nanomagnet. The magnetization of the nanomagnet is assumed to precess with the Larmor frequency ωL when exposed to ferromagnetic resonance conditions. The Larmor precession locally breaks the spin-rotation symmetry of the quasiparticle scattering and generates spin-polarized Shapiro steps...
متن کاملExtremely long quasiparticle spin lifetimes in superconducting aluminium using MgO tunnel spin injectors.
There has been an intense search in recent years for long-lived spin-polarized carriers for spintronic and quantum-computing devices. Here we report that spin-polarized quasiparticles in superconducting aluminium layers have surprisingly long spin lifetimes, nearly a million times longer than in their normal state. The lifetime is determined from the suppression of the aluminium's superconducti...
متن کاملMagnetoresistance in double spin filter tunnel junctions with nonmagnetic electrodes and its unconventional bias dependence.
Spin filtering happens due to the discriminative tunneling probabilities for spin-up and spin-down electrons through a magnetic barrier and can result in highly spin polarized tunnel currents. Combining two such barriers in a tunnel junction thus leads to large magnetoresistance without the necessity of magnetic electrodes. We demonstrate the realization of such unconventional tunnel junctions ...

Charge and spin transport properties of a clean $SNS$ Josephson junction (triplet superconductor-normal metal-triplet superconductor) are studied using the quasiclassical Eilenberger equation of Green’s function. Our system consists of two p-wave superconducting crystals separated by a Copper nano layer. Effects of thickness of normal layer between superconductors on the spin and charge current...
