During the past 15 years a new field has emerged, which combines superconductivity and
spintronics, with the goal to pave a way for new types of devices for applications combining …

Spin-orbit coupling (SOC) relates to the interaction between an electron's motion and its spin
and is ubiquitous in solid-state systems. Although the effect of SOC in normal-state …

The Josephson effect results from the coupling of two superconductors across a spacer such
as an insulator, a normal metal or a ferromagnet to yield a phase coherent quantum state …

We present a study of magnetic structures with controllable effective exchange energy for
Josephson switches and memory applications. As a basis for a weak link we propose to use …

The increased capabilities of coupling more and more materials through functional
interfaces are paving the way to a series of exciting experiments and extremely advanced …

The past two decades have seen an explosion of work on Josephson junctions containing
ferromagnetic materials. Such junctions are under consideration for applications in digital …

Josephson junctions containing two ferromagnetic layers are being considered for use in
cryogenic memory. Our group recently demonstrated that the ground-state phase difference …

We consider a type-II superconducting thin film in contact with a Néel skyrmion. The
skyrmion induces spontaneous currents in the superconducting layer, which under the right …

We report magnetic and superconducting properties of the modified spin-valve system CoO
x/Fe1/Cu/Fe2/Cu/Pb. Introduction of a Cu interlayer between Fe2 and Pb layers prevents …

The recent experimental demonstration of spin-polarized supercurrents offers a venue for
establishment of a superconducting analog to conventional spintronics. Whereas domain …
