Singlet-Triplet Mixing in Superconductor-Ferromagnet Hybrid Devices

Superconductivity 2007-05-23 v1 Mesoscale and Nanoscale Physics

Abstract

We develop a theory which describes hybrid structures consisting out of superconducting and ferromagnetic parts. We give two examples for applications. First, we consider a hybrid structure containing a strong ferromagnet in the ballistic limit. Second, we study for a weak ferromagnet the influence of a domain wall on the superconducting proximity effect. In both cases we account quantitatively for the mixing between singlet and triplet correlations.
