自旋激活半金属-超导体界面上杂质辅助的Andreev反射

Impurity-assisted Andreev reflection at a spin-active half-metal-superconductor interface

Francis B. Wilken, Piet W. Brouwer

摘要:

在半金属铁磁体(H)和超导体(S)之间的干净界面处的Andreev反射振幅与激发能$\varepsilon$成比例,并且在$\varepsilon=0$处消失[Béri { \em等人},物理学\修订版本\ B { \bf 79},024517(2009)]。在这里,我们表明,杂质的存在下,或在HS接口附近导致有限的Andreev反射振幅在$\varepsilon=0$。这种杂质辅助Andreev反射占主导地位的HS结的低偏置电导和SHS结的约瑟夫森电流在长结限制。

英文摘要:

The Andreev reflection amplitude at a clean interface between a half-metallic ferromagnet (H) and a superconductor (S) for which the half metal's magnetization has a gradient perpendicular to the interface is proportional to the excitation energy $\varepsilon$ and vanishes at $\varepsilon=0$ [Béri {\em et al.}, Phys.\ Rev.\ B {\bf 79}, 024517 (2009)]. Here we show that the presence of impurities at or in the immediate vicinity of the HS interface leads to a finite Andreev reflection amplitude at $\varepsilon=0$. This impurity-assisted Andreev reflection dominates the low-bias conductance of a HS junction and the Josephson current of an SHS junction in the long-junction limit.
