Coherent subgap transport in spin-split Josephson junctions

David Caldevilla-Asenjo, Gorm Ole Steffensen, Sara Catalano +6

We report the first experimental observation of subgap transport in ferromagnetic insulator/superconductor/insulator/superconductor junctions realized in EuS/Al/AlOx/Al vertical st…

Weak-anti-localization-to-spin-dependent scattering at a proximity-magnetized heavy metal interface

Hisakazu Matsuki, Guang Yang, Jiahui Xu +9

A change in a materials electrical resistance with magnetic field (magnetoresistance) results from quantum interference effects and, or spin-dependent transport, depending on mater…

Realisation of de Gennes Absolute Superconducting Switch with a Heavy Metal Interface

Hisakazu Matsuki, Alberto Hijano, Grzegorz P. Mazur +13

In 1966, Pierre-Gilles de Gennes proposed a non-volatile mechanism for switching superconductivity on and off in a magnetic device. This involved a superconductor (S) sandwiched be…

Weak localization at arbitrary disorder strength in systems with generic spin-dependent fields

Alberto Hijano, Stefan Ilić, F. Sebastián Bergeret

We present a theory of weak localization (WL) in the presence of generic spin-dependent fields, including any type of spin-orbit coupling, Zeeman fields, and non-homogeneous magnet…

Dynamical Hall responses of disordered superconductors

Alberto Hijano, Sakineh Vosoughi-nia, F. Sebastián Bergeret +2

We extend the Mattis-Bardeen theory for the dynamical response of superconductors to include different types of Hall responses. This is possible thanks to a recent modification of…

Bipolar thermoelectricity in S/I/NS and S/I/SN superconducting tunnel junctions

A. Hijano, F. S. Bergeret, F. Giazotto +1

Recent studies have shown the potential for bipolar thermoelectricity in superconducting tunnel junctions with asymmetric energy gaps. The thermoelectric performance of these syste…

Superconductor-ferromagnet hybrids for non-reciprocal electronics and detectors

Zhuoran Geng, Alberto Hijano, Stefan Ilic +16

We review the use of hybrid thin films composed of superconductors and ferromagnets for creating non-reciprocal electronic components and self-biased detectors of electromagnetic r…

Anisotropic differential conductance of a mixed parity superconductor/ferromagnet structure

Tim Kokkeler, Alberto Hijano, F. Sebastián Bergeret

We study the electronic transport properties of a superconductor (S) with a mixed s+p-wave pairing attached to a ferromagnetic metal (F) and a normal electrode (N) in an SFN config…

Microwave-assisted thermoelectricity in SIS' tunnel junctions

A. Hijano, F. S. Bergeret, F. Giazotto +1

Asymmetric superconducting tunnel junctions with gaps have been proven to show a peculiar nonlinear bipolar thermoelectric effect. This arises due to the spontaneous brea…

Spin-texture topology in curved circuits driven by spin-orbit interactions

Alberto Hijano, Eusebio J. Rodríguez, Dario Bercioux +1

Interferometry is a powerful technique used to extract valuable information about the wave function of a system. In this work, we study the response of spin carriers to the effecti…

Quasiparticle density of states and triplet correlations in superconductor/ferromagnetic-insulator structures across a sharp domain wall

Alberto Hijano, Vitaly N. Golovach, F. Sebastián Bergeret

A ferromagnetic insulator (FI) in contact with a superconductor (S) is known to induce a spin splitting of the BCS density of states at the FI/S interface. This spin splitting caus…

Anomalous Andreev interferometer: Study of an anomalous Josephson junction coupled to a normal wire

Alberto Hijano, Stefan Ilić, F. Sebastián Bergeret

Josephson junctions (JJs), where both time-reversal and inversion symmetry are broken, exhibit a phase shift in their current-phase relation. This allows for an anomalous sup…

Coexistence of superconductivity and spin-splitting fields in superconductor/ferromagnetic insulator bilayers of arbitrary thickness

Alberto Hijano, Stefan Ilić, Mikel Rouco +11

Ferromagnetic insulators can induce a strong exchange field in an adjacent superconductor via the magnetic proximity effect. This manifests as spin-splitting of the BCS density of…

A quantum-network approach to spin interferometry driven by Abelian and non-Abelian fields

A. Hijano, T. van den Berg, D. Frustaglia +1

We present a theory of conducting quantum networks that accounts for Abelian and non-Abelian fields acting on spin carriers. We apply this approach to model the conductance of meso…
