Abstract

The critical temperature of a triplet superconducting spin valve depends on the effectiveness of the conversion of singlet pairs in the superconductor to triplet pairs which can penetrate a ferromagnet and so drive a strong proximity effect. Here we compare the outā€of plane field dependence of the critical temperature in transition metal triplet spin valves with otherwise equivalent samples in which the singletā€triplet converting spin mixer ferromagnet layer is omitted. We report a significant fieldā€dependent difference between the samples which is consistent with a magnetisation orientation dependent spin mixing efficiency in the spin valve.
