We investigate the spin-polarization of the ferromagnetic semiconductor (Ga,Mn)As by point contact Andreev reflection spectroscopy. The conductance spectra are analyzed using a recent theoretical model that accounts for momentum- and…
Results of point contact Andreev reflection (PCAR) experiments on (In,Mn)Sb are presented and analyzed in terms of current models of charge conversion at a superconductor-ferromagnet interface. We investigate the influence of surface…
We use point contact Andreev reflection spin spectroscopy to measure the transport spin polarization of MnAs epitaxial films grown on (001) GaAs. By analyzing both the temperature dependence of the contact resistance and the phonon spectra…
We present a systematic analysis of point-contact Andreev reflection (PCAR) spectra for ferromagnetic materials, using both modeling and experimental data. We consider the relationship between ballistic and diffusive transport, the effect…
Narrow-gap higher mobility semiconducting alloys In_{1-x}Mn_{x}Sb were synthesized in polycrystalline form and their magnetic and transport properties have been investigated. Ferromagnetic response in In_{0.98}Mn_{0.02}Sb was detected by…
Germanium-based alloys hold great promise for future spintronics applications, due to their potential for integration with conventional Si-based electronics. Mn5Ge3 exhibits strong ferromagnetism up to the Curie temperature Tc~295K. We use…
We have measured the transport spin-polarization of epitaxial thin films of the conductive ferromagnetic oxide, SrRuO3, using Point Contact Andreev Reflection Spectroscopy (PCAR). In spite of the fact that spin-up and spin-down electronic…
Magnetoresistance measurements on the magnetic semiconductor (In,Mn)Sb suggest that magnetic scattering in this material is dominated by isolated Mn$^{2+}$ ions located outside the ferromagnetically-ordered regions when the system is below…
Because the physical interpretation of the spin-polarization of a ferromagnet determined by point-contact Andreev reflection (PCAR) is non-trivial, we have carried out parameter-free calculations of PCAR spectra based upon a…

The occurrence of inhomogeneous spin-density distribution in multilayered ferromagnetic diluted magnetic semiconductor nanostructures leads to strong dependence of the spin-polarized transport properties on these systems. The spin-dependent…
