Phase-controlled triplet correlations and thermoelectric effects in a hybrid superconductor-ferromagnet device — •Ali Rezaei1, Robert Hussein1, Akashdeep Kamra2, and Wolfgang Belzig11Department of Physics, University of Konstanz, Germany — 2Center for Quantum Spintronics, Department of Physics, NTNU, Norway

We study charge and heat transport in superconductor-ferromagnet (S/FM) hybrid structures. Firstly, we analyse a bilayer tunnel junction consisting of a spin-split superconductor connected to a spin-polarized ferromagnet and find that spin-flip scattering strongly enhances the thermoelectric response of the system at low temperature and spin-splitting [1]. A large spin-splitting is also obtainable by employing an antiferromagnetic insulator (AFMI) adjacent to a superconductor in an S|AFMI device [2]. The advantage of using AFMs is the minimization of stray magnetic fields which normally accompany ferromagnets. Finally, we investigate the effects of spin-polarized quasiparticles and spin-mixing on the thermoelectric transport properties of a four-terminal hybrid device incorporating two superconductors which are connected to two ferromagnetic leads via a common central normal node. This geometry allows us to induce phase- and voltage-controlled triplet correlations, and to change the direction of the spin-currents.
