Multiple Andreev Reflection Spectroscopy of Spin-Resolved Proximity States

RESUMO

We predict a coherent multiple Andreev reflection regime in superconducting nanoconstrictions with parallel proximity-induced exchange fields in the electrodes. The subharmonic gap structure is controlled by reconstruction of the spin-resolved electrode spectra, rather than by a rigid displacement of BCS gap edges. This produces split and redistributed anomalies governed by the interval between the outer gap edge and a shifted exchange induced density of states singularity. The effect survives channel transparency averaging and provides a direct transport probe of spin-resolved proximity states.
