Collective magnetic and plasma excitations in Josephson $\psi$ junctions

Abstract

We show that Josephson $\psi$ junctions with the half-metallic (HM) weak link coupled to the superconducting (S) electrodes through the ferromagnetic (F) layers host collective excitations of magnetic moment and the Josephson phase. This results in the shift of the ferromagnetic resonance frequency, anomalies in the current-voltage characteristics and the appearance of additional magnetic anisotropy in the F layers. In contrast to the previously studied S/F/S junctions, the coupling between magnetic and plasma modes emerges even in the long-wavelength limit. Such coupling is shown to enable the controllable magnetization reversal in the F layer governed by the d.c. current pulse which provides the effective mechanism for magnetic moment manipulation in the devices of superconducting spintronics.
