The interaction of magnetism and superconductivity, and the development of superconducting spintronics
Event Start:
2018-05-17T16:00:00
Event Information:
The discovery in 2010, using superconductor / ferromagnet / superconductor Josephson junctions, that it is possible to controllably create triplet Cooper pairs in which the electrons have parallel spins created the field of superconducting spin electronics (superspintronics) [1]. However, even if triplet pairing implies that supercurrents can carry spin, this is not in itself sufficient to create functioning superspintronic devices. In parallel, a variety of other interactions between singlet superconductivity and magnetism have been actively explored.
