摘要
Robinson et al. [J.W.A. Robinson, et al., Science 329 (2010) 59] reported control of spin-triplet supercurrents into ferromagnets by varying the thicknesses of the Ho injector and attributed the voltage peaks to non-integer spiral wavelengths of lambda/2 and 5 lambda/2 in Ho. Here we demonstrate that these peaks correspond to lambda/2 and 3 lambda/2. (C) 2011 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.
