Spin-singlet Cooper pairs consisting of two electrons with opposite spins cannot directly penetrate from a superconductor to a half-metal (fully spin polarized ferromagnets) which blocks the superconducting proximity effect between these…

Superconductivity has been investigated for over a century, but there are still open questions about what determines the critical current; the maximum current a superconductor can carry before switching to its normal state. For a given…
