Conductance oscillation due to the geometrical resonance in FNS double junctions
We theoretically analyzed the Andreev reflection in ferromagnetic metal/nonmagnetic metal/superconductor double junctions with special attention to the electron interference effect in the nonmagnetic metal layer. We showed that the conductance oscillates as a function of the bias voltage due to the geometrical resonance. We found that the exchange field, and therefore the spin polarization of the ferromagnetic metal can be determined from the period of the conductance oscillation, which is proportional to the square root of the exchange field.
