Spin transport in unconventional superconductors KU Leuven
Superconductor/ferromagnet hybrids are a promising platform for various spin-based applications. In the non-dissipative ground state of a superconductor electrons combine in so-called Cooper pairs, i.e. two electrons with opposite spin orientation allowing the maximization of their phonon-mediated attraction. Unfortunately, this compensated spin configuration is not beneficial for spin information propagation in superconductors. However, at ...
