Determination of the spin polarization of RFe2 (R = Dy, Er, Y) by point contact Andreev reflection

Epitaxially grown intermetallic RFe 2 (R Dy, Er, Y) thin films have been studied by point contact Andreev reflection. Spin polarization values were extracted by fitting normalized conductance curves for mechanical Nb/RFe 2 point contacts, using a modified Blonder-Tinkham-Klapwijk model. Good agreeme...
