In ferromagnetic superconductors, like URhGe, superconductivity co-exists with magnetism near zero field, but then re-appears again in a finite field range, where the system also displays mass enhancement in the normal state. We present…
The low-temperature conductance (G) characteristics between a normal metal and a clean superconductor (S) carrying a supercurrent $I_s$ parallel to the interface is theoretically investigated. Increasing $I_s$ causes lowering and broadening…
