Abstract
We study tunneling in ferromagnet/unconventional superconductor (F/S) junct ions. We include the effects of spin polarization, interfacial resistance, and Fermi wave-vector mismatch between the F and S regions. Andreev reflect ion at the FIS interface. governing tunneling at low bias voltage, is stron gly modified by these parameters. The conductance exhibits a wide variety o f novel features as a function of applied voltage. [S0163-1829(99)04533-6].
