Spin-precession-assisted tunneling in hybrid superconducting point contacts — •Cecilia Holmqvist1, Wolfgang Belzig1, and Mikael Fogelström21Fachbereich Physik, Universität Konstanz, D-78457 Konstanz, Germany — 2Department of Microtechnology and Nanoscience - MC2, Chalmers University of Technology, SE-412 96 Göteborg, Sweden

The charge and spin transport properties of a quantum point contact coupled to a nanomagnet depend strongly on the dynamics of the nanomagnet's spin. We analyze the current-voltage characteristics of a junction coupled to a spin whose dynamics is modeled as Larmor precession brought about by an external magnetic field. The interaction between the spin dynamics and the Josephson effect leads to a rich subgap structure due to spin-precession-assisted multiple Andreev reflections. Additionally, the spin current displays Shapiro-like resonances due to the interplay between the ac Josephson current and the Larmor precession.
