Colossal Proximity Effect in a Superconducting Triplet Spin Valve Based on the Half-Metallic Ferromagnet CrO_{2}

Combining superconductors (S) and ferromagnets (F) offers the opportunity to create a new class of superconducting spintronic devices. In particular, the S/F interface can be specifically engineered to convert singlet Cooper pairs to spin-polarized triplet Cooper pairs. The efficiency of this proces...
