Evidence for competition between the superconductor proximity effect and quasiparticle spin-decay in superconducting spin-valves

The difference in the density of states for up- and down-spin electrons in a ferromagnet (F) results in spin-dependent scattering of electrons at a ferromagnet / nonmagnetic (F/N)…
