铁磁体的Andreev反射谱:费米面失配的影响

Andreev-reflection spectroscopy of ferromagnets: the impact of Fermi surface mismatch

Elina Tuuli, Kurt Gloos

摘要:

我们研究了超导体(Nb,AuIn 2)和正常金属(铁磁Co,非磁性Cu)之间的点接触。用修正的BTK理论分析了观测到的Andreev反射谱。这导致了与其他人的观察一致的Co的极化,但寿命效应同样很好地描述了光谱。另一方面,与非磁性铜的光谱可以很好地描述使用自旋极化模型。偏振和寿命解释之间的模糊性提出了一个困境,可以通过考虑正常的反射在这些接口由于费米表面失配解决。我们的数据表明,在铌钴接触的Andreev反射确实提供真正的钴的磁极化,只有当寿命效应和上述提到的固有正常反射。

英文摘要:

We have investigated point contacts between a superconductor (Nb, AuIn2) and a normal metal (ferromagnetic Co, non-magnetic Cu). The observed Andreev-reflection spectra were analyzed using the modified BTK theory including spin-polarization effects. This resulted in a polarization of Co that agrees with observations by others, but lifetime effects describe the spectra equally well. On the other hand, the spectra with non-magnetic Cu can be well described using the spin-polarization model. The ambiguity between polarization and lifetime interpretation poses a dilemma which can be resolved by considering the normal reflection at those interfaces due to Fermi surface mismatch. Our data suggest that Andreev reflection at Nb - Co contacts does deliver the true magnetic polarization of Co only when lifetime effects and the above mentioned intrinsic normal reflection are included.
