Proximity effect in ferromagnet-superconductor hybrid structures: role of the pairing symmetry

Abstract

The spatial variations of the pair amplitude, and the local density of states in d-wave or s-wave superconductor-ferromagnet hybrid structures are calculated self consistently using the Bogoliubov-deGennes formalism within the two dimensional extended Hubbard model. We describe the proximity effect in superconductor / ferromagnet (SF) bilayers, FSF trilayers, and interfaces between a superconductor and a ferromagnetic domain wall. We investigate in detail the role played by the pairing symmetry, the exchange field, interfacial scattering and crossed Andreev reflection.
