Cooper pair splitting in diffusive magnetic SQUIDs

Abstract

We study Josephson junctions with weak links consisting of two parallel disordered arms with magnetic properties -- ferromagnetic, half-metallic or normal with magnetic impurities. In the case of long links, the Josephson effect is dominated by mesoscopic fluctuations. In this regime, the system realises a φ0\varphi_0 junction with sample-dependent φ0\varphi_0 and critical current. Cooper pair splitting between the two arms plays a major role and leads to 2Φ02\Phi_0 periodicity of the current as a function of flux between the arms. We calculate the current and its flux and polarization dependence for the three types of magnetic links.
