铁磁体/超导体混合体中的邻近效应:从扩散运动到弹道运动

Proximity effect in ferromagnet/superconductor hybrids: from diffusive to ballistic motion

Jacob Linder, Malek Zareyan, Asle Sudbø

摘要:

我们提出了一个分析研究的邻近效应在铁磁/超导体(F/S)异质结构,允许任意的磁交换能量以及任意的杂质和自旋翻转散射率内的准经典方法。虽然以前的研究主要集中在清洁或肮脏的限制,我们的研究结果授予访问制度的中间杂质浓度,从而使我们能够探测从清洁到肮脏的限制交叉。我们发现,在交叉制度,所有可能的邻近诱导的反常格林函数的对称性相关的铁磁体中诱导。我们还指出,局域态密度的空间振荡,不仅为F/S双层,但也为正常/超导体(N/S)双层的扩散限制,一个事实,这似乎已经被忽视的文献。在弱邻近效应制度,我们提出了紧凑的解析表达式,适用于任意交换场和杂质散射率\textit{i)}的F/S双层的局域态密度,\textit{ii)}的约瑟夫森电流在S/F/S结,和\textit{iii)}的临界温度在F/S/F多层。对于所有的情况下,我们特别研究扩散和弹道运动之间的交叉制度。我们的研究结果可能是有用的,用于分析实验数据的情况下,当脏的限制没有完全达到,从而使Usadel方程的使用无效。

英文摘要:

We present an analytical study of the proximity effect in ferromagnet/superconductor (F/S) heterostructures, allowing for an arbitrary magnetic exchange energy as well as arbitrary impurity and spin-flip scattering rates within a quasiclassical approach. While previous studies mainly have focused on the clean or dirty limits, our results grant access to the regime of intermediate impurity concentrations, thus allowing us to probe the crossover from the clean to dirty limit. We find that in the crossover regime, all possible symmetry correlations of the proximity-induced anomalous Green's function are induced in the ferromagnet. We also point out that the local density of states oscillates spatially, not only for an F/S bilayer, but also for a normal/superconductor (N/S) bilayer in the diffusive limit, a fact which appears to have gone unnoticed in the literature. Within the weak-proximity effect regime, we present compact analytical expressions valid for arbitrary exchange fields and impurity scattering rates for \textit{i)} the local density of states in an F/S bilayer, \textit{ii)} the Josephson current in an S/F/S junction, and \textit{iii)} the critical temperature in an F/S/F multilayer. For all cases, we study in particular the crossover regime between diffusive and ballistic motion. Our results may be useful for analyzing experimental data in cases when the dirty limit is not fully reached, thus invalidating the use of the Usadel equation.
