Se p 20 02 Thermodynamic properties of ferromagnetic / superconductor / ferromagnetic nanostructures
نویسنده
چکیده
The theoretical description of the thermodynamic properties of ferromagnetic/superconductor/ferromagnetic (F/S/F) systems of nanoscopic scale is proposed. Their superconducting characteristics strongly depend on the mutual orientation of the ferromagnetic layers. In addition, depending on the transparency of S/F interfaces, the superconducting critical temperature can exhibit four different types of dependences on the thickness of the F-layer. The obtained results permit to give some practical recommendations for the spinvalve effect experimental observation. In this spin-valve sandwich, we also expect a spontaneous transition from parallel to anti-parallel ferromagnetic moment orientation, due to the gain in the superconducting condensation energy.

Se p 20 02 Transport properties of ferromagnet - d - wave superconductor ferromagnet double junctions
We investigate transport properties of multiterminal structures composed of a d-wave superconductor connected to two ferromagnetic electrodes. Using a non-equilibrium Green's function method and a Landauer approach we show that crossed Andreev reflections and cotunneling exist also with d-wave su-perconductors, however their properties are governed by the anisotropy of the d-wave pair potential.

We find that the dependence on temperature and magnetic field of the electrical resistance of diffusive ferromagnetic nano-wires measured with superconducting electrodes changes drastically with the distance, L, between the ferromagnet/superconductor contacts, however is remarkably similar for the wires with the same L ranging from 300 nm to 1000 nm, prepared under identical conditions. The res...

Diluted ferromagnetic III-V semiconductors typically show a high degree of compensation. Compensation is connected to the presence of comparable densities of charged defects of either sign. This naturally leads to the development of strong correlations between defect positions during growth and annealing. We show that these correlations are required to understand the experimentally observed tra...
