The proximity effect at superconductor-ferromagnet interfaces produces damped oscillatory
behavior of the Cooper pair wave function within the ferromagnetic medium. This is …

The past two decades have seen an explosion of work on Josephson junctions containing
ferromagnetic materials. Such junctions are under consideration for applications in digital …

The principle of a novel device, which is called a superconducting spin switch or a spin
valve for supercurrent, is proposed and theoretically justified. It is based on a four-layer …

We explain the basic physics behind oscillatory effects in superconductor/metallic
ferromagnet (S/F) sandwiches, and describe the important effects of the spin orbit scattering …

The superconducting critical temperature (T c) of ferromagnet-superconductor-ferromagnet
systems has been predicted to exhibit a dependence on the magnetization orientation of the …

The transition temperature T c of superconductor-ferromagnet superlattices is calculated by
solving exactly the Usadel equations. Characteristic ground-state configurations are …

The mutual influence of superconductivity and magnetism in F/S systems, ie systems of
alternating ferromagnetic (F) and superconducting (S) layers, is comprehensively reviewed …

We calculate the dc Josephson current IJ for two types of superconductor-ferromagnet (S/F)
Josephson junctions. The junction of the first type is a S/F/S junction. On the basis of the …

We study the interplay between magnetism and superconductivity in high-quality YBa 2 Cu 3
O 7 (YBCO)/La 0.7 Ca 0.3 MnO 3 (LCMO) superlattices. We find evidence for the YBCO …
