The distribution of the spin-singlet component, the short-range spin-triplet component with zero projection, and the long-range spin-triplet component with projection ±1 of the superconducting pairing function has been obtained for different regimes of switching of a spin valve with a three-layer heterostructure (superconductor/ferromagnet/ferromagnet). The distribution of the components is discussed as the main reason for the behavior of the superconducting transition temperature as a function of the angle between the magnetic moments of the ferromagnetic layers in these regimes. 相似文献

Magnetization process and switching field of sub-micron sized elements for antiparallely coupled ferromagnetic systems (ferromagnet/nonmagnet/ferromagnet) are studied with micromagnetic simulation using Landau–Lifshiz–Gilbert equations. It is found that the switching field of the antiparallel structure of the trilayer is lower than that of the ferromagnetic single film for above aspect RATIO=2 and below WIDTH=150 nm. 相似文献

We study electronic transport through a ferromagnet normal-metal ferromagnet system and we investigate the effect of hyperfine interaction between electrons and nuclei in the normal-metal part. A switching of the magnetization directions of the ferromagnets causes nuclear spins to precess. We show that the effect of this precession on the current through the system is large enough to be observed in experiment. 相似文献

A weak link of two superconductors with s-type pairing through a ferromagnet has been theoretically investigated in the regime of a nonequilibrium spin-dependent distribution
of electrons over energy levels in a ferromagnetic interlayer. It has been shown that, under the given conditions, the triplet
component of the supercurrent-carrying density of states, which does not participate in the Josephson current transfer under
equilibrium and spin-independent nonequilibrium conditions, is involved in the Josephson current transfer through the junction.
In this case, the standard supercurrent transferred by the singlet component of the supercurrent-carrying density of states
remains unchanged as compared to the case of the equilibrium distribution of electrons in the interlayer. An additional current
transferred by the triplet component is controlled by a voltage that controls the specific shape and the degree of nonequilibrium
of the electron distribution function in the interlayer. Depending on this controlling parameter, the additional current can
substantially amplify or attenuate the standard supercurrent and also switch the junction between 0 and π states. 相似文献

In the search for new physical properties of S/F structures, we have found that the superconductor critical current can be
controlled by the domain state of the neighboring ferromagnet. The superconductor is a thin wire of thickness ds ≈2ξS. Nb/Co and Nb/Py (Permalloy Ni80Fe20) bilayer structures were grown with a significant magnetic anisotropy. Critical current measurements of Nb/Co structures
with ferromagnet thickness dF > 30 nm show sudden drops in two very defined steps when the measurements are made along the hard axes direction (i.e. current
track parallel to hard anisotropy axes direction). These drops disappear when they are made along the easy axis direction
or when the ferromagnet thickness is below 30 nm. The drops are accompanied by vortex flux flow. In addition magnetorestistance
measurements close to TC show a sharp increase near saturation fields of the ferromagnet. Similar results are reproduced in Nb/Py bilayer structure
with the ferromagnet thickness dF ~ 50 nm along the easy anisotropy axes. These results are explained as being due to spontaneous vortex formation and flow
induced by Bloch domain walls of the ferromagnet underneath. We argue these Bloch domain walls produce a 2D vortex-antivortex
lattice structure. 相似文献

We solve the Boltzmann’s transport equations for conduction electrons in a ferromagnet considering electron–magnon scattering. Such scattering gives rise to a spin dependent Seebeck coefficient, which in turn implies that the spin current can be generated by applying a temperature gradient. We estimate the temperature gradient required for switching a nano-magnet by using spin-transfer torque. 相似文献

A quantitative theory of the Josephson effect in SFIFS junctions (S denotes bulk superconductor, F is metallic ferromagnet, and I is insulating barrier) is presented in the dirty limit. A fully self-consistent numerical procedure is employed to solve the Usadel equations for arbitrary values of the F-layer thicknesses, magnetizations, and interface parameters. In the case of antiparallel ferromagnet magnetizations, the effect of critical current I c enhancement by the exchange energy H is observed, while in the case of parallel magnetizations the junction exhibits a transition to the π state. In the limit of thin F layers, we study these peculiarities of the critical current analytically and explain them qualitatively; the scenario of the 0-πtransition in our case differs from those studied before. The effect of switching between 0 and π states by changing the mutual orientation of F layers is demonstrated. 相似文献

We study the long-range triplet Josephson current in a clean junction composed of two s-wave superconductors and a normal-metal/ferromagnet/normal-metal trilayer. Through applying the bias voltages on the metal regions by two antiparallel half-metal electrodes, we show that the amplitude and direction of this long-range current can be controlled flexibly. Such current arises from the fact that the applied voltage can produce a nonequilibrium spin-dependent quasiparticle distribution in the metal regions so that the Cooper pairs entering these regions acquire extra momenta, which will lead to a spin-transition process in the metal regions. This process can produce the parallel spin-triplet pairs in the central ferromagnet layer. In particular, if the voltage is applied only to one metal region, we further find that the recently discovered long-range superharmonic Josephson current will appear because of the transport of an even number of parallel spin-triplet pairs. 相似文献

Probing the magnetization switching with in-plane magnetic anisotropy through field-modified magnetoresistance measurement 下载免费PDF全文
Effective probing current-induced magnetization switching is highly required in the study of emerging spin-orbit torque(SOT)effect.However,the measurement of in-plane magnetization switching typically relies on the giant/tunneling magnetoresistance measurement in a spin valve structure calling for complicated fabrication process,or the non-electric approach of Kerr imaging technique.Here,we present a reliable and convenient method to electrically probe the SOT-induced in-plane magnetization switching in a simple Hall bar device through analyzing the MR signal modified by a magnetic field.In this case,the symmetry of MR is broken,resulting in a resistance difference for opposite magnetization orientations.Moreover,the feasibility of our method is widely evidenced in heavy metal/ferromagnet(Pt/Ni20Fe80 and W/Co20Fe60B20)and the topological insulator/ferromagnet(Bi2Se3/Ni20Fe80).Our work simplifies the characterization process of the in-plane magnetization switching,which can promote the development of SOT-based devices. 相似文献

We study the supercurrent in a superconductor/ferromagnet/superconductor graphene junction. In contrast to its metallic counterpart, the oscillating critical current in our setup decays only weakly upon increasing the exchange field and junction width. We find an unusually large residual value of the supercurrent at the oscillatory cusps due to a strong deviation from a sinusoidal current-phase relationship. Our findings suggest a very efficient device for dissipationless supercurrent switching. 相似文献

Josephson current is investigated in the superconductor/ferromagnet/superconductor junction. It was shown that the current exhibited damping oscillations as a function of the ferromagnetic layer thickness. Previous theories based on Usadel or Eilenberger equations have predicted that the damping length and oscillation period divided by 2π were the same for weak ferromagnetic spacer. This contradicts past experiments. A new calculation of the Josephson current is proposed. The Gorkov equations are solved taking into account s–d scattering in ferromagnet. It is shown that the oscillation period depends only on the exchange magnetic field in the spacer, whereas the damping length is connected to the ferromagnetic mean free path. The concordance with the former experiment allows one to conclude that s–d scattering as a pair-breaking mechanism plays a significant role in the proximity effect in S/F heterostructures. 相似文献

The switching kinetics in ferroelectrics in the bulk polarization switching stage and in the final stage of the process are studied. Consideration is given to the specific case of switching of intrinsic ferroelectrics with 180° domains. A complete system of equations describing the switching processes and taking into account the change in repolarization in the course of a phase transformation is derived. The solution of this system is found. All the main characteristics of the switching process are calculated; namely, the evolution of the domain size distribution function is revealed and the time dependences of the domain density and flux are determined. An expression describing the variation in repolarization with time is obtained. The mechanisms of domain growth are studied. An equation for calculating the switching current and its variation with time is derived. A method is proposed for determining a number of constants for ferroelectric crystals by studying the switching current evolution. 相似文献

A two-band s-d model based on the Green function method has been developed for calculating the conductivity and tunnel magnetoresistance of ferromagnet/insulator/ferromagnet structures. It is shown that s-d scattering at the interface between the ferromagnet and the insulator in Fe/Al2O3/Fe increases the tunnel magnetoresistance. The spin polarization of the current decreases thereby and even becomes negative, which is mainly due to scattering of strongly localized d electrons to the s band, followed by tunnelling through the insulator. 相似文献

We propose a general theory of the spin-transfer effects that occur when current flows through inhomogeneous magnetic systems. Our theory does not rest on an appeal to conservation of total spin, can assess whether or not current-induced magnetization precession and switching in a particular geometry will occur coherently, and can estimate the efficacy of spin-transfer when spin-orbit interactions are present. We illustrate our theory by applying it to a toy-model twodimensional-electron-gas ferromagnet with Rashba spin-orbit interactions. 相似文献

The mutual interplay between superconductivity and magnetism in superconductor/ferromagnet heterostructures may give rise to unusual proximity effects beyond current knowledge. Especially, spin-triplet Cooper pairs could be created at carefully engineered superconductor/ferromagnet interfaces. Here we report a giant proximity effect on spin dynamics in superconductor/ferromagnet/superconductor Josephson junctions. Below the superconducting transition temperature T_C, the ferromagnetic resonance field at X-band(~9.0 GHz) shifts rapidly to a lower field with decreasing temperature. In strong contrast, this phenomenon is absent in ferromagnet/superconductor bilayers and superconductor/insulator/ferromagnet/superconductor multilayers. Such an intriguing phenomenon can not be interpreted by the conventional Meissner effect. Instead, we propose that the strong influence on spin dynamics could be due to spin-transfer torque associated with spin-triplet supercurrents in ferromagnetic Josephson junctions with precessing magnetization. 相似文献

We study the proximity effect in
hybrid structures consisting of superconductor
and ferromagnetic insulator separated by
a normal diffusive metal (S/N/FI structures).
These stuctures were proposed to realize the
absolute spin-valve effect. We pay special attention
to the gaps in the density of states of the normal
part. We show that the effect of the ferromagnet
is twofold: It not only shifts the density of states
but also provides suppression of the gap.
The mechanism of this suppression is remarkably similar
to that due to magnetic impurities.
Our results are obtained from the solution of
one-dimensional Usadel equation
supplemented with boundary conditions for matrix current
at both interfaces. 相似文献

The association between the threshold value of conductance switching in an external magnetic field and the initial magnetic state of a ferromagnetic plate substrate is shown for a ferromagnet/polymer/nonmagnetic metal system. The threshold magnetic field change is explained by appearance of residual magnetization after being held in an external magnetic field and, correspondingly, by the change in the initial state upon further remagnetization. 相似文献

We conduct micro-magnetic simulations to study spin-transfer torque induced magnetization switching in perpendicular magnetic tunneling junctions. The effects of current densities and temperatures on the switching processes are studied in details. We then proposed an approach to compute the deterministic switching time by taking thermal-effect into account. The switching time is less temperature-dependent under higher current density; however, as the current density decreases, the effect of temperature on the switching time becomes more and more significant. The switching process with micro-magnetic simulations is shown to be via domain wall nucleation and propagation. The phenomena are consistent with the recent experimental found-out. We further propose a method to compute the switching time based on domain wall nucleation and propagation theory, and compare the switching time with those from macro-spin approximation. It is found the switching times from the micro-magnetic simulations are much shorter than that from the macro-spin approximations. Macro-spin approximation over-estimates the switching times due to its coherent rotation assumptions. 相似文献
