Quasiparticle spectrum in mesoscopic superconducting junctions with weak magnetization

Abstract

We theoretically investigate the effects of the weak magnetization on the local density of states of mesoscopic proximity structures, where two superconducting terminals are attached to a side surface of the diffusive ferromagnet wire with a phase difference. When there is no phase difference, the local density of states is significantly modified by the magnetization in both spin-singlet $s$-wave and spin-triplet $p$-wave cases. When the phase difference is $\pi$, the local density of stets is less modified by the magnetization compared with the in-phase case because of the destructive interference of Cooper pairs.
