Using a general expression for dc Josephson current, we study the Josephson effect in ballistic superconductor (SC)/ferromagnetic semiconductor (FS)/SC junctions, in which the mismatches of the effective mass and Fermi velocity between the FS and SC, spin polarization P in the FS, as well as strengths of potential scattering Z at the interfaces are included. It is shown that in the coherent regime, the oscillatory dependences of the maximum Josephson current on the FS layer thickness L and Josephson current on the macroscopic phase difference φ for the heavy and light holes, resulting from the spin splitting energy gained or lost by a quasiparticle Andreev-reflected at the FS/SC interface, are much different due to the different mismatches in the effective mass and Fermi velocity between the FS and the SC, which is related to the crossovers between positive (0) and negative (π) couplings or equivalently 0 and π junctions. Also, we find that, for the same reason, Z and P are required not to surpass different critical values for the Josephson currents of the heavy and light holes. Furthermore, it is found that, for the dependence of the Josephson current on φ, regardless of how L,Z, and P change, the Josephson junctions do not transit between 0 and π junctions for the light hole. 相似文献

The effect of the ferromagnetic insulator on tunneling conductance in ferromagnetic semiconductor/ferromagnetic insulator/p-wave superconductor (FS/FI/P) junctions is studied based on a scattering theory. Three kinds of pairings for the P side are chosen: px, py ,px+ipy waves. It is shown that the spin filtering effect originating from the exchange field in the FI strongly modifies the normalization conductance. Many novel features including the zero-bias conductance dip and splitting are exhibited for fixed spin polarization in the FS. The tunneling spectrum for the heavy holes is much different from that for the light holes due to the different mismatches in the effective mass and Fermi velocity between FS and P. 相似文献

The Andreev reflection (AR) probability and transmission of quasiparticles in ferromagnetic semiconductor/d-wave superconductor (FS/DS) ballistic junctions are studied based on an extended Blonder–Tinkham–Klapwijk (BTK) theory. It is shown that the dependence of AR probability and pair potential on the spin orientation of incident quasiparticles for the heavy holes is much different from that for light holes due to the different mismatches in the effective mass and Fermi velocity between FS and DS. The junction conductance is dominated by the quasiparticles which undergo AR processes with the largest probability, and this provides a method for measuring the spin polarization in FS. 相似文献

The transient photoconductive response time of the ferromagnetic semiconductor CdCr2Se4 was measured to be smaller than 90 ps, the response time of the scope. The measurements were performed at room temperature (300 K) for 0.53 and 1.06 m excitations using a mode locked frequency-doubled YAG laser. 相似文献

Proximity effects in normal metal/insulator/ferromagnetic semiconductor/superconductor (NM/I/FS/SC) and NM/I/SC/FS junctions are studied based on an extended Blonder-Tinkham-Klapwijk (BTK) theory. It is found that the magnitude of the proximity effects depends to a great extent on the mismatches of the effective mass and band between the FS and SC. For NM/I/FS/SC junction, the transition of the tunneling conductance from “0” to “π” state is determined by the mass, magnetic exchange energy in FS and the thickness of FS. For NM/I/SC/FS junctions, the conductance spectrum is spin-dependent, indicating a local coexistence of weak ferromagnetism and s-wave superconductivity. 相似文献

We report transport measurements on Superconductor/Ferromagnet/Superconductor (S/F/S) junctions: Nb/Al/Gd/Al/Nb where gadolinium
(Gd) is a weakly polarized ferromagnet. A sizeable critical current I
c is observed in the I(V) characteristics. This current can be modulated by a weak magnetic field, as expected for a Josephson current. With these
experiments, we establish that superconducting coherent transport survives across a small ferromagnetic layer. The penetration
depth of Cooper pairs in Gd has been measured. An extensive study of the Josephson critical current in temperature for different
thicknesses of magnetic compounds is presented. A comparison of transport measurements with S/N/S junction is given through
measurements made on Nb/Al/Y/Al/Nb, where yttrium (Y) is used as non magnetic rare earth metal.

A zigzag boundary between a $d_{x^2 - y^2}$ and an s-wave
superconductor is believed to behave like a long Josephson junction
with alternating sections of 0 and π symmetry. We calculate the
field-dependent critical current of such a junction, using a simple
model. The calculation involves discretizing the partial differential
equation for the phase difference across a long 0-π junction. In this form, the equations describe a hybrid ladder of inductively
coupled small 0 and π resistively and capacitively shunted Josephson junctions (RCSJ's). The calculated critical critical
current density
Jc(Ha) is maximum at non-zero applied magnetic field Ha, and
depends strongly on the ratio of Josephson penetration depth
λJ to facet length Lf. If λJ/Lf ≫1 and the
number of facets is large, there is a broad range of Ha where
Jc(Ha) is less than 2% of the maximum critical current density
of a long 0 junction. All of these features are in qualitative
agreement with recent experiments. In the limit λJ/Lf
→∞, our model reduces to a previously-obtained
analytical superposition result for Jc(Ha). In the same limit, we
also obtain an analytical expression for the effective field-dependent
quality factor QJ(Ha), finding that
. We suggest that measuring the field-dependence of QJ(Ha) would provide further evidence that this RCSJ model applies to a long 0-π junction between a d-wave and an s-wave superconductor. 相似文献

Combining an extended Julliere model with transfer matrix method, we study the spin-polarized resonant tunneling in GaMnAs/AlAs/GaAs/AlAs/GaMnAs double barrier ferromagnetic semiconductor (FS) tunnel junctions with the arbitrary angle θ between the magnetic directions of two FS's. It is shown that tunneling magnetoresistance (TMR) ratio linearly varies with sin2(θ/2). We also demonstrate that for the heavy and light holes, the properties of the spin-polarized resonant tunneling are obviously different. The present results are expected to be instructive for manufacturing the relevant semiconductor spintronic devices. 相似文献

The Shubnikov-de Haas (SdH) oscillation spectra of the
-(BEDT-TTF)4(NH4)[ Cr(C2O4)3] .DMF
organic metal have been studied in pulsed magnetic fields of up to
either 36 T at ambient pressure or 50 T under hydrostatic
pressures of up to 1 GPa. The ambient pressure SdH oscillation
spectra can be accounted for by up to six fundamental frequencies
which points to a rather complex Fermi surface (FS). A noticeable
pressure-induced modification of the FS topology is evidenced
since the number of frequencies observed in the spectra
progressively decreases as the pressure increases. Above 0.8 GPa,
only three compensated orbits are observed, as it is the case for
several other isostructural salts of the same family at ambient
pressure. Contrary to other organic metals, of which the FS can be
regarded as a network of orbits, no frequency combinations are
observed for the studied salt, likely due to high magnetic
breakdown gap values or (and) high disorder level evidenced by
Dingle temperatures as large as ≃7 K. 相似文献

For certain orientations of Josephson junctions between two px-wave or two d-wave superconductors, the subgap Andreev bound states produce a
-periodic relation between the Josephson current I and the phase difference
:
. Consequently, the ac Josephson current has the fractional frequency
, where V is the dc voltage. In the tunneling limit, the Josephson current is proportional to the first power (not square) of the electron tunneling amplitude. Thus, the Josephson current between unconventional superconductors is carried by single electrons, rather than by Cooper pairs. The fractional ac Josephson effect can be observed experimentally by measuring frequency spectrum of microwave radiation from the junction. We also study junctions between singlet s-wave and triplet px-wave, as well as between chiral
-wave superconductors.Received: 24 September 2003, Published online: 2 April 2004PACS:

An extended Blonder-Tinkham-Klapwijk approach is applied to study how the tunneling conductance in ferromagnetic semiconductor/s-wave superconductor (FS/SC) junction, where the FS region is a quantum wire, is manipulated by the mismatches of the effective mass between the FS and SC, spin polarization in the FS, as well as the strength of potential scattering at the interface. It is demonstrated that in the single-mode case they have different influences on the tunneling spectra. 相似文献

The Bogoliubov de Gennes equation is applied to the study ofcoherence effects in the ferromagnetic superconductor/insulator/normalmetal/insulator/ferromagnetic/superconductor (FS/I/N/I/FS) junction. We calculated the Josephson current in FS/I/N/I/FS as a function of exchange field in ferromagnetic superconductor, temperature, and normal metal thickness. It is found that the Josephson critical current in FS/I/N/I/FS exhibits oscillations as a function of the length of normal metal. The exchange field always suppresses the Josephson critical current Ip for a parallel configuration of the magnetic moments of two ferromagnetic superconductor (FS) electrodes. In the antiparallel configuration, the Josephson critical current IAp at the minimum values of oscillation increases with the exchange field for strong barrier strength and at low temperatures. 相似文献

We solve a self-consistent equation for the d-wave superconducting gap and the effective exchange field in the mean-field approximation, study the Zeeman effects on the d-wave superconducting gap and thermodynamic potential. The Josephson currents in the d-wave superconductor (S)/insulating layer (I)/d-wave S junction are calculated as a function of the temperature, exchange field, and insulating barrier strength under a Zeeman magnetic field on the two d-wave Ss. It is found that the Josephson critical currents in d-wave S/d-wave S junction depend to a great extent on the relative orientation of the effective exchange field of the two S electrodes, and the crystal orientation of the d-wave S. The exchange field can under certain conditions enhance the Josephson critical current in a d-wave S/I/d-wave S junction. 相似文献

A new fabrication process for three-terminal superconducting devices consisting of two Josephson junctions in a stacked configuration
is reported. The process is based on the deposition of the whole Nb/AlxOy/Nb-Al/AlxOy/Nb multilayer on a Si crystalline wafer without any vacuum breaking. Lift-off techniques, anodization processes and a SiO
film deposition have been adopted for patterning and insulating the two tunnel stacked junctions. Devices have been characterized
in terms of current-voltage (I-V) curves and Josephson critical current vs. the externally applied magnetic field. They show high quality factors (V
m values up to 65 mV at 4.2 K), and good current uniformity.

The difficulty associated with an accurate determination of transition rates for forbidden lines in lowly ionized heavy elements
is illustrated in the case of Nd II. We have investigated the radiative decay of the low-lying metastable levels in Nd+ including the two levels
K11/2 and
I13/2. In these two particular cases, using different theoretical approaches, we find that the decay is dominated by the M1 channels
but that the E2 contributions are of the same order of magnitude. These levels have also been studied experimentally by lifetime
measurements with the heavy ion storage ring CRYRING of Stockholm University. The difficulties encountered when performing
such experiments are underlined and discussed. 相似文献

We have investigated the structural and magnetic properties of
Er|Tb
multilayers by different scattering methods. Diffuse X-ray scattering under
grazing incidence reveals the interface structure in
Er|Tb
bilayers and trilayers, indicating vertically correlated roughness between the Er and Tb interfaces. The magnetic properties
of
ErnEr|TbnTb
superlattices have been studied as a function of the superlattice composition (indices denote the number of atomic layers).
Coupled ferromagnetic structures exist in all investigated samples. The phase transition temperature varies with the Tb layer
thickness.
Modulated magnetic order is short range for all samples beside the
Er20|Tb5
superlattice, the sample with the smallest Tb layer thickness.
We observe dipolar antiferromagnetic coupling between single ferromagnetic Tb layers in all samples, with the onset of this
ordering depending on the Tb layer thickness. Due to competing interactions, exchange coupling is limited to the interface
near region. Therefore long range modulated magnetic order is observed in the
Er20|Tb5
superlattice only, where the interface regions overlap.
The distinct differences to the magnetic structure of an Er0.8Tb0.2
alloy film are explained by a highly anisotropic arrangement of neighbouring
atoms due to the correlated roughness. 相似文献
