We discuss the charge and the spin tunneling currents between two Bardeen-Cooper-Schrieffer (BCS) superconductors, where one density of states is spin-split. In the presence of a large temperature bias across the junction, we predict the…
We demonstrate theoretically that the spin polarization of current can be electrically amplified within nonmagnetic semiconductors by exploiting the fact the spin current, compared to the charge current, is weakly perturbed by electric…
The spin polarization P of the transport current through the interface between superconducting Al and ferromagnetic Fe is determined by means of Andreev reflection at nanostructured point contacts. We observe a systematic decrease of P with…
We study heat transport in hybrid normal metal - superconductor - normal metal (NSN) structures. We find the thermal conductance of a short superconducting wire to be strongly enhanced beyond the BCS value due to inverse proximity effect.…
We present a microscopic theory of coherent quantum transport through a superconducting film between two ferromagnetic electrodes. The scattering problem is solved for the general case of ferromagnet/superconductor/ferromagnet (FSF)…
We study the zero-temperature transport properties of one-dimensional normal-superconductor (NS) junctions with topological superconductors across their topological transitions. Working within the Blonder-Tinkham-Klapwijk (BTK) formalism…
We have studied the effects of Mn concentration on the ballistic spin-polarized transport through diluted magnetic semiconductor heterostructures with a single paramagnetic layer. Using a fitted function for zero-field conduction band…
A theoretical proposal for realizing and detecting spin supercurrent in an isotropic antiferromagnetic insulator is reported. Superfluid spin transport is achieved by inserting the antiferromagnet between two metallic reservoirs and…
Transport measurements are presented on thin-film superconducting spin-valve systems, where the controlled non-collinear arrangement of two ferromagnetic Co layers can be used to influence the superconducting state of Nb. We observe a very…
Magnetic tunnel junctions with wide band gap semiconductor ZnTe barrier were fabricated. A very low barrier height and sizable magnetoresistance were observed in the Fe/ZnTe/Fe junctions at room temperature. The nonlinear I-V characteristic…
Cooper pairs in superconductors are normally spin singlet. Nevertheless, recent studies suggest that spin-triplet Cooper pairs can be created at carefully engineered superconductor-ferromagnet interfaces. If Cooper pairs are spin-polarized…
A theory of tunneling conductance in ferromagnetic metal/insulator/triplet - supercondcutor junctions is presented for unitary and non-unitary spin triplet pairing states which are promising candidates for the superconducting paring…
We report supercurrent transport measurements in hybrid Josephson junctions comprised of semiconducting InAs nanowires with epitaxial ferromagnetic insulator EuS and superconducting Al coatings. The wires display a hysteretic…
The study of superconductor-ferromagnet interfaces has generated great interest in the last decades, leading to the observation of spin-aligned triplet supercurrents and 0-pi transitions in Josephson junctions where two superconductors are…
We study theoretically the effect of spin relaxation on the spin transport in a ferromagnet/superconductor(FM/SC) tunnel junction. When spin-polarized electrons are injected into the SC from the FM, nonequilibrium spin accumulation as well…
Equal-spin Cooper pairs are pivotal building blocks for superconducting spintronics devices. In recent experiments, unusual behavior was observed in ferromagnet/ferromagnet/superconductor devices when a precession of the magnetization was…
The differential resistance of submicron-size ferromagnet/superconductor interface structures shows asymmetries as a function of the current through the ferromagnet/superconductor interface. These asymmetries are a consequence of…
We report on nonlocal spin transport in mesoscopic superconducting aluminum wires in contact with the ferromagnetic insulator europium sulfide. We find spin injection and long-range spin transport in the regime of the exchange splitting…
We study tunneling in ferromagnet/unconventional superconductor (F/S) junctions. We include the effects of spin polarization, interfacial resistance, and Fermi wavevector mismatch (FWM) between the F and S regions. Andreev reflection (AR)…
Resonant behavior involving spin-orbit entangled states occurs for spin transport along a narrow channel defined in a two-dimensional electron gas, including an apparent rapid relaxation of the spin polarization for special values of the…
