Anomalous anisotropic behaviour of spin-triplet proximity effect in Au/SrRuO${}_3$/Sr${}_2$RuO${}_4$ junctions

Abstract

Spin-polarized supercurrents can be generated with magnetic inhomogeneity at a ferromagnet/spin-singlet-superconductor interface. In such systems, complex magnetic inhomogeneity makes it difficult to functionalise the spin-polarized supercurrents. However, spin-polarized supercurrents in ferromagnet/spin-triplet-superconductor junctions can be controlled by angle between magnetization and spin of Copper pairs ($d$-vector), that can effectively be utilized in developing of a field of research known as superconducting spintronics. Recently, we found induction of spin-triplet correlation into a ferromagnet SrRuO${}_3$ epitaxially deposited on a spin-triplet superconductor Sr${}_2$RuO${}_4$, without any electronic spin-flip scattering. Here, we present systematic magnetic field dependence of the proximity effect in Au/SrRuO${}_3$/ Sr${}_2$RuO${}_4$ junctions. It is found that induced triplet correlations exhibit strong anisotropic field response. Such behaviour attributes to the rotation of the $d$-vector of Sr${}_2$RuO${}_4$. This anisotropic behaviour is in contrast with the vortex dynamic. Our results will stimulate study of interaction between ferromagnetism and unconventional superconductivity.
