Traditional studies that combine spintronics and superconductivity have mainly focused on
the injection of spin-polarized quasiparticles into superconducting materials. However, a …

During the past 15 years a new field has emerged, which combines superconductivity and
spintronics, with the goal to pave a way for new types of devices for applications combining …

The interplay between magnetism and superconductivity can lead to unconventional
proximity and Josephson effects. A related phenomenon that has recently attracted …

The interplay between superconductivity and ferromagnetism in the superconductor/
ferromagnet (SC/FM) heterostructures generates many interesting physical phenomena …

This article reviews odd-frequency (odd-ω) pairing with a focus on superconducting systems.
Since Berezinskii introduced the concept of odd-frequency order in 1974 it has been viewed …

As the dimensions of a material shrink from an extended bulk solid to a nanoscale structure,
size and quantum confinement effects become dominant, altering the properties of the …

Superconductivity is a phenomenon where the macroscopic quantum coherence appears
due to the pairing of electrons. This offers a fascinating arena to study the physics of …

The superconductor-ferromagnet proximity effect describes the fast decay of a spin-singlet
supercurrent originating from the superconductor upon entering the neighboring …

The year 1911 was remarkable for physics in several respects. Ernest Rutherford postulated
the existence of the atomic nucleus, which led him to his atom model; Max Planck introduced …

We study theoretically the transport properties of a normal metal (N)/ferromagnet insulator<?
format?>(FI)/superconductor (S) junction and a S/FI/S junction formed on the surface of a …
