Interplay between superconductivity and ferromagnetism in tunneling

ORAL

Abstract

We study tunneling currents in a model consisting of ferromagnetic spin-triplet superconductors with magnetization in an arbitrary direction separated by a thin insulating layer. A novel effect is found with both ferromagnetic and superconducting phases entering in the expressions for the single- and two-particle tunneling currents in both spin and charge sector. This interplay between ferromagnetism and superconductivity is present when unconventional Cooper pairs with parallell spin pairing are allowed to form.
