Magnetoanisotropic Andreev reflection in ferromagnet-superconductor junctions.

چکیده
Andreev reflection spectroscopy of ferromagnet-superconductor (FS) junctions [corrected] is an important probe of spin polarization. We theoretically investigate spin-polarized transport in FS junctions in the presence of Rashba and Dresselhaus interfacial spin-orbit fields and show that Andreev reflection can be controlled by changing the magnetization orientation. We predict a giant in- and out-of-plane magnetoanisotropy of the junction conductance. If the ferromagnet is highly spin polarized-in the half-metal limit-the magnetoanisotropic Andreev reflection depends universally on the spin-orbit fields only. Our results show that Andreev reflection spectroscopy can be used for sensitive probing of interfacial spin-orbit fields in a FS junction.

Spin resolved Andreev reflection in ferromagnet-superconductor junctions with Zeeman splitting
Andreev reflection in ferromagnet-superconductor junctions is derived in a regime in which Zeeman splitting dominates the response of the superconductor to an applied magnetic field. Spin-up and spin-down Andreev reflections are shown to be resolved as voltage is increased. In the metallic limit, the transition from Andreev to tunnel conductivity in the spin-up channels has a non trivial behavi...

The transport properties of a ferromagnet–superconductor (FS) junction are studied in a scattering formulation. Andreev reflection at the FS interface is strongly affected by the exchange interaction in the ferromagnet. The conductance GFS of a ballistic point contact between F and S can be both larger or smaller than the value GFN with the superconductor in the normal state, depending on the r...

We consider Andreev reflection in ferromagnet-superconductor junctions and extend the treatment by de Jong and Beenakker to incorporate the effect of a repulsive potential at the interface. We show the existence of a spin accumulation at a finite voltage in this model.
