Spin dependent transport in ferromagnetic/superconductor/ferromagnetic single electron transistor

Mesoscale and Nanoscale Physics 2009-11-10 v1 Superconductivity

Abstract

Ferromagnetic single electron transistors with Al islands and orthogonal ferromagnetic leads (Co) are fabricated using ebeam lithography followed by shadow evaporation techniques. I-V characteristics exhibit typical single electron tunneling effects. Transport measurements performed in external magnetic field show that, when the two ferromagnetic leads are in antiparallel configuration, spin imbalance leads to a suppression of superconductivity.
