摘要:

本文利用Bogoliubov-de Gennes方程在准经典Andreev近似下分析了弹道超导体/铁磁体/超导体结中的直流约瑟夫森效应。我们认为铁磁性的可能性起源于相反的自旋,即自旋带宽不对称的载流子的质量重整化。我们提供了一个通用的Andreev水平,这是有效的任意接口的透明度,交换相互作用,带宽不对称的公式。我们分析了电流相位关系,临界电流,和自由能在短结制度。我们证明了一个更大的数量的$0-π$过渡结宽度或极化幅度的变化所造成的预期时,铁磁性是由自旋带宽不对称性相比,斯通纳磁性,和相同的机制可能是负责流动的一个更大的临界电流。我们比较两个相同的结的相图不同的机制,中间层成为磁性,即斯通磁性或带宽不对称。特别是,我们指出,对于这两种情况下,跨结的相位差在基态不需要是相同的,即使极化是相等的。

英文摘要:

We analyze the dc Josephson effect in a ballistic superconductor/ferromagnet/superconductor junction by means of the Bogoliubov-de Gennes equations in the quasiclassical Andreev approximation. We consider the possibility of ferromagnetism originating from a mass renormalization of carriers of opposite spin, i.e. a spin bandwidth asymmetry. We provide a general formula for Andreev levels which is valid for arbitrary interface transparency, exchange interaction, and bandwidth asymmetry. We analyze the current-phase relation, the critical current, and the free energy in the short junction regime. We demonstrate that a larger number of $0-π$ transitions caused by a change in junction width or polarization magnitude is expected when ferromagnetism is driven by spin bandwidth asymmetry compared to Stoner magnetism, and that the same mechanism is likely responsible for the flowing of a larger critical current. We compare the phase diagrams of two identical junctions differing only in the mechanism by which the mid layer becomes magnetic, i.e. Stoner magnetism or bandwidth asymmetry. In particular, we point out that for these two cases, the phase difference across the junction in the ground state need not be the same, even if the polarizations are equal.
