Proximity effects at the interface between chiral p-wave superconductors and ferromagnets — •Damien Terrade¹, Mario Cuoco², Paola Gentile², and Dirk Manske¹ — ¹Max Planck Institute For Solid State Research, Stuttgart, Germany — ²CNR-SPIN, Fisciano (Salerno), Italy

We focus on an interface along the (001) direction. The system is made by a stack of two-dimensional layers, with a d^→-vector perpendicular to the plane, which should be the first experimental configuration of the predicted Josephson junctions involving component like Sr₂RuO₄. The SC is described with an extended Hubbard model and the ferromagnetism is based either on a Stoner-like model [1,2] or on a change in the relative bandwidth of electrons for the two different spin polarizations[3]. We compute self-consistently the pairing potentials, the magnetization and the free energy as a function of the exchange field strength as well as the angle between the exchange field and the d^→-vector. We have generalized the work done in [3] by including spin-flip process and magnetic impurities at the interface as well as a temperature dependence. We obtain in the FM layers no induced singlet components unlike interface along the (100) direction and strongly reduced oscillations for the triplet components.
