Electron Transport in Hybrid Ferromagnetic/Superconducting Nanostructures
نویسنده
چکیده
We observe large amplitude changes in the resistance of ferromagnetic (F ) wires at the onset of superconductivity of adjacent superconductors (S). New sharp peaks of large amplitude are found in the magnetoresistance of the F -wires. We discuss a new mechanism for the long-range superconducting proximity effect in F/S nanostructures based on the analysis of the topologies of actual Fermi-surfaces in ferromagnetic metals.

Electron transport in a mesoscopic superconducting / ferromagnetic hybrid conductor
We present electrical transport experiments performed on submicron hybrid devices made of a ferromagnetic conductor (Co) and a superconducting (Al) electrode. The sample was patterned in order to separate the contributions of the Co conductor and of the Co-Al interface. We observed a strong influence of the Al electrode superconductivity on the resistance of the Co conductor. This effect is lar...
متن کاملLong Range Proximity Effect in Hybrid Ferromagnetic/Superconducting Nanostructures
We find that the dependence on temperature and magnetic field of the electrical resistance of diffusive ferromagnetic nano-wires measured with superconducting electrodes changes drastically with the distance, L, between the ferromagnet/superconductor contacts, however is remarkably similar for the wires with the same L ranging from 300 nm to 1000 nm, prepared under identical conditions. The res...
متن کاملSpin accumulation and Andreev reflection in a mesoscopic ferromagnetic wire
The electron transport though ferromagnetic-metal–superconducting hybrid devices is considered in the nonequilibrium Green’s function formalism in the quasiclassical approximation. Attention is focused on the limit in which the exchange splitting in the ferromagnet is much larger than the superconducting energy gap. Transport properties are then governed by an interplay between spin accumulatio...
متن کاملSuperconducting phase coherent electron transport in proximity conical ferromagnets.
We report superconducting phase-periodic conductance oscillations in ferromagnetic wires with interfaces to conventional superconductors. The ferromagnetic wires were made of Ho, a conical ferromagnet. The distance between the interfaces was much larger than the singlet superconducting penetration depth. We explain the observed oscillations as due to the long-range penetration of an unusual hel...
متن کاملControllable manipulation of superconductivity using magnetic vortices
The magneto-transport of a superconducting/ferromagnetic hybrid structure, consisting of a superconducting thin film in contact with an array of magnetic nanodots in the so-called ‘magnetic vortex state’, exhibits interesting properties. For certain magnetic states, the stray magnetic field from the vortex array is intense enough to drive the superconducting film into the normal state. In this ...
