Remotely induced magnetism in a normal metal using a superconducting spin-valve
Superconducting spintronics has emerged in the last decade as a promising new field that seeks to open a new dimension for nanoelectronics by utilizing the internal spin structure of the superconducting Cooper pair as a new degree of freedom. Its basic building blocks are spintriplet Cooper pairs with equally aligned spins, which are promoted by proximity of a conventional superconductor to a f...
متن کاملDirect penetration of spin-triplet superconductivity into a ferromagnet in Au/SrRuO3/Sr2RuO4 junctions
Efforts have been ongoing to establish superconducting spintronics utilizing ferromagnet/superconductor heterostructures. Previously reported devices are based on spin-singlet superconductors (SSCs), where the spin degree of freedom is lost. Spin-polarized supercurrent induction in ferromagnetic metals (FMs) is achieved even with SSCs, but only with the aid of interfacial complex magnetic struc...
متن کاملPossible Spin - Singlet Superconductivity in ( TMTSF ) 2 X : Superconducting Transition Temperature in a Magnetic Field
We study the transition temperature Tc(H) of a quasi-one-dimensional (Q1D) superconductivity which is derived from the quantum effect of an electron motion in a strong magnetic field. We calculate Tc(H) of both isotropic and anisotropic superconductivity by taking account of the optimal momentum of the Cooper pairs and the effect of higher harmonic terms along second conducting axis in the tigh...

متن کاملSpin-polarized quasiparticle transport in cuprate superconductors
The effects of spin-polarized quasiparticle transport in superconducting YBa2Cu3O7−δ (YBCO) epitaxial films are investigated by means of current injection into perovskite ferromagnet-insulatorsuperconductor (F-I-S) heterostructures. These effects are compared with the injection of simple quasiparticles into control samples of perovskite non-magnetic metal-insulator-superconductor (N-IS). System...
