Magnetic moment manipulation by triplet Josephson current    [PDF]

N. G. Pugach, A. I. Buzdin
The induced magnetic moment, provided by the bands electrons, is calculated in a variety of Josephson junctions with multilayered ferromagnetic (F) weak link. The noncollinear magnetization of the F layers provides the conditions necessary to generate triplet superconducting correlations. It leads to the long-range induced magnetic moment, emerging in the superconducting (S) layers. It is shown to be dependent on the Josephson phase. By tuning the Josephson current, one may control the long-range induced magnetic moment. Alternatively, applying the voltage we can generate an oscillatory magnetic moment. The detection of such a spin effect may serve as independent evidence of the triplet superconductivity. The proposed mechanism seems to be attractive for superconducting spintronic devices with low dissipation.
