The physics of superconductor-ferromagnet hybrid structures (Mini-review)
Abstract
In this review, we summarize the foundations underlying a variety of phenomena in superconductor-ferromagnet hybrid structures, with a focus on recent advances in several key areas. These include: (i) the fundamental understanding of proximity effects in superconductor- ferromagnet based systems; (ii) spin-valve effects in superconductor- ferromagnet and superconductor-ferromagnet-superconductor Josephson junctions; and (iii) the design and realization of superconducting memory elements, particularly in hybrid Josephson junctions. We also discuss the experimental progress in fabricating and characterizing spin-valve structures.
