Abstract
A thin ferromagnetic layer on a bulk equal-spin-pairing triplet superconductor is shown to mediate a Josephson coupling between the spin and condensates of the superconductor. By deriving analytic expressions for the bound states at the triplet superconductor-ferromagnet interface, we show that this spin Josephson effect establishes an effective anisotropy axis in the ferromagnetic layer. The associated Josephson spin current is predicted to cause a measurable precession of the magnetization about the vector order parameter of the triplet superconductor.
