摘要
The current fluctuation in the ferromagnet/insulator/d-wave superconductor junction is studied theoretically. With the increase of the magnitude of the exchange potential in ferromagnet, the value of noise power-to-current ratio at zero-bias voltage for transparent junction approaches 4e as expected in the normal metal/insulator/conventional superconductor junctions in the tunneling limit. This result reflects the suppression of the Andreev reflection due to the exchange potential in the ferromagnet. The obtained results can be used as a measurement of the magnitude of the spin polarization of the ferromagnet as well as the height of the zero-bias conductance peak. (C) 2001 Elsevier Science B.V.
