Local Density of States in Superconductor - Ferromagnetic Hybrid Systems
نویسنده
چکیده
In this Letter we discuss various properties of the local density of states (DOS) for a superconductor-ferromagnet hybrid system. The DOS is modified at small energies on both sides of the interface. Due to the interplay of superconductivity and ferromagnetism, the local DOS depends on the spin direction. The spin polarization effects extend over a long distance from the interface both in the superconductor and in the ferromagnet. If the ferromagnet is of finite lenght, the DOS shows a (spin dependent) gap. PACS numbers: 74.80.Fp,72.50.Bg, 74.50.+r Typeset using REVTEX

Proximity effect in ferromagnet - superconductor hybrid structures : role of the pairing symmetry
The spatial variations of the pair amplitude, and the local density of states in d-wave or s-wave superconductor-ferromagnet hybrid structures are calculated self consistently using the Bogoliubov-deGennes formalism within the two dimensional extended Hubbard model. We describe the proximity effect in superconductor / ferromagnet (SF) bilayers, FSF trilayers, and interfaces between a supercondu...

We study the proximity effect in superconductor metallic or ferromagnetic Aharonov Bohm loop hybrid structures self consistently using the BogoliubovdeGennes formalism within the two dimensional extended Hubbard model. We calculate the local density of states, the pair amplitude, and persistent currents as a function of several modulation parameters, the position around the loop, the exchange f...

متن کاملInhomogeneous magnetism induced in a superconductor at superconductor-ferromagnet interface
We study a magnetic proximity effect at superconductor (S) ferromagnet (F ) interface. It is shown that due to an exchange of electrons between the F and S metals ferromagnetic correlations extend into the superconductor, being dependent on interface parameters. We show that ferromagnetic exchange field pair breaking effect leads to a formation of subgap bands in the S layer local density of st...
متن کاملEvolution of the local superconducting density of states in ErRh4B4 close to the ferromagnetic transition.
We present local tunneling spectroscopy experiments in the superconducting and ferromagnetic phases of the reentrant superconductor ErRh4B4. The tunneling conductance curves jump from showing normal to superconducting features within a few mK close to the ferromagnetic transition temperature, with a clear hysteretic behavior. Within the ferromagnetic phase, we do not detect any superconducting ...
