Proximity effect in ferromagnet–superconductor hybrid structures: role of the pairing symmetry
Proximity effect in ferromagnet–superconductor hybrid structures: role of the pairing symmetry
The spatial variations of the pair amplitude and the local density of states in d- or s-wave superconductor–ferromagnet (SF) hybrid structures are calculated self consistently using the Bogoliubov–de Gennes formalism within the two-dimensional extended Hubbard model. We describe the proximity effect in SF bilayers, ferromagnet–superconductor–ferromagnet (FSF) trilayers and interfaces between …
