During the past 15 years a new field has emerged, which combines superconductivity and
spintronics, with the goal to pave a way for new types of devices for applications combining …

Ferromagnetism and conventional singlet superconductivity can be regarded as competing
ordering phenomena. A considerable body of theoretical work over the past twenty years …

Due to the spin-orbit coupling (SOC) an electric current flowing in a normal metal or
semiconductor can induce a bulk magnetic moment. This effect is known as the Edelstein …

In 1933, Meissner and Ochsenfeld reported the expulsion of magnetic flux—the diamagnetic
Meissner effect—from the interior of superconducting lead. This discovery was crucial in …

The theory of superconductivity developed by Bardeen, Cooper and Schrieffer (BCS)
explains the stabilization of electron pairs into a spin-singlet, even frequency, state by the …

Magnetic inhomogeneity at a superconductor (S)–ferromagnet (F) interface converts spin-
singlet Cooper pairs into spin-one triplet pairs. These pairs are immune to the pair-breaking …

In conventional superconductors, electrons of opposite spins are bound into Cooper pairs.
However, when the superconductor is in contact with a non-uniformly ordered ferromagnet …

Spintronics has emerged in the last two decades as both an extremely fruitful direction of
research into the properties and usefulness of the spin degree of freedom of the electron as …

At the interface between a ferromagnetic insulator and a superconductor there is a coupling
between the spins of the two materials. We show that when a supercurrent carried by triplet …

The length scale over which supercurrent from conventional BCS, s-wave superconductors
(S) can penetrate an adjacent ferromagnetic (F) layer depends on the ability to convert …
