Triplet correlations at ferromagnet/superconductor interfaces: Mechanism and implications — •Daniel Fritsch and James F. Annett — H. H. Wills Physics Laboratory, University of Bristol, Tyndall Avenue, Bristol BS8 1TL, United Kingdom

The interface between a ferromagnet and an s-wave superconductor offers a rich variety of physical phenomenons due to different intrinsic correlation effects. Even more interesting phenomenons are to be expected if the interface region allows for some kind of spin-flip mechanism, thus generating equal-spin spin-triplet correlations which are compatible with the ferromagnetic exchange field and leading to the observable long-range proximity effect.

Here, we present results based on numerical solutions of the spin-generalised microscopic Bogoliubov−de Gennes equations incorporating a tight-binding model in the clean limit [1-3]. We compare different types of interfaces that have been suggested to generate spin-triplet pairing correlations and discuss implications on the effectiveness.
