摘要:

理论工作表明,在同时含有铁磁体和自旋轨道耦合源的约瑟夫森结中可以产生相等的自旋三重态库珀对。我们最近的实验工作表明,自旋三重态库珀对不产生的Pt自旋轨道耦合层时,铁磁弱链接完全在平面各向异性(N。卫星和N.O. Birge,Phys.Rev.B97,214509(2018))。在这里,我们再次使用Pt作为自旋-轨道耦合源和具有面内和面外磁化分量(倾斜磁化)的[Co(0.4 nm)/Ni(0.4 nm)] $_{\times8}$ /Co(0.4 nm)铁磁弱连接的实验。倾斜磁化比我们以前的实验工作更接近理论预测。我们的研究结果表明,有没有超导的贡献,在我们的路口从相等的自旋三重态。此外,这项工作还包括第一次系统的研究超导铜层间厚度的依赖性,一个共同的额外的层用于缓冲的铁磁体的生长,并为钴可能显着改善生长形态。我们报道了在[Co(0.4 nm)/Ni(0.4 nm)] $_{\times8}$ /Co(0.4 nm)铁磁弱链中,通过调节Cu中间层的厚度,可以使超电流增强两个数量级以上.这一结果在超导自旋电子学中有重要的应用,在超导自旋电子学中,器件需要大的临界电流。

英文摘要:

It has been suggested by theoretical works that equal spin-triplet Cooper pairs can be generated in Josephson junctions containing both a ferromagnet and a source of spin-orbit coupling. Our recent experimental work suggested that spin-triplet Cooper pairs were not generated by a Pt spin-orbit coupling layer when the ferromagnetic weak link had entirely in-plane anisotropy (N. Satchell and N.O. Birge, Phys. Rev. B 97, 214509 (2018)). Here, we revisit the experiment using Pt again as a source for spin-orbit coupling and a [Co(0.4 nm)/Ni(0.4 nm)]$_{\times8}$/Co(0.4 nm) ferromagnetic weak link with both in-plane and out-of-plane magnetization components (canted magnetization). The canted magnetization more closely matches theoretical predictions than our previous experimental work. Our results suggest that there is no supercurrent contribution in our junctions from equal spin-triplets. In addition, this work includes the first systematic study of supercurrent dependence on Cu interlayer thickness, a common additional layer used to buffer the growth of the ferromagnet and which for Co may significantly improve the growth morphology. We report that the supercurrent in the [Co(0.4 nm)/Ni(0.4 nm)]$_{\times8}$/Co(0.4 nm) ferromagnetic weak links can be enhanced by over two orders of magnitude by tuning the Cu interlayer thickness. This result has important application in superconducting spintronics, where large critical currents are desirable for devices.
