Probabilistic Teleportation of a Four-Particle Entangled State

A Scheme for teleporting an unknown four-particle entangled state is proposed via entangled swapping. In this scheme, four pairs of entangled particles are used as quantum channel. It is shown that, if the four pairs of particles are nonmaximally entangled, the teleportation can be successfully realized with certain probability if a receiver adopts some appropriate unitary transformations.

Quantum Transport and Surface Scattering in Magnetic Metallic Film

Taking into account the quantum size effect and the spin dependence of the electronic band structure, and including the spin dependence of the scattering from bulk impurities and two different sets of surface roughness, we present a theory on the electronic transport in magnetic film, in which the average autocorrelation function (ACF) for surface roughness is described by a Gaussion model. Our result shows that the conductivity is a sensitive function of surface roughness and exchange energy. It is also found that in the thin film limit and in the lower-order approximation of the surface scattering, the total conductivity is given by a sum of conductivities of all the subbands and the two spin channels, for each subband and each spin channel the scattering rates due to the impurities and two surfaces are additive.

Josephson Current in Superconductor-Ferromagnet/Insulator/d-Wave Superconductor Junctions

Solving the Bogoliubov–de Gennes equation, the energy levels of bound states are obtained in the ferromagnetic superconductor. The Josephson currents in a ferromagnetic superconductor/Insulator/d-wave superconductor junction are calculated as a function of the exchange field, temperature, and insulating barrier strength. It is found that the Josephson critical current is always suppressed by the presence of exchange field h and depends on crystalline axis orientation of d-wave superconductor.

Spin-Polarized Tunneling Spectroscopy and Shot Noise in Ferromagnet/f-Wave Superconductor Junctions*

The tunneling spectroscopy and shot noise in ferromagnet/insulator/triplet-superconductor (FM/I/triplet-SC) structures are studied by taking into account the roughness interfacial barrier and exchange splitting in the FM. For the triplet-SC of Sr2RuO4, we consider two-dimensional f-wave order parameter symmetries having nodes within the RuO2 plane, which reasonably describe both thermodynamic and thermal conductivity data. It is shown that the ferromagnetic exchange splitting gives rise to a decrease in the differential conductance, the average current, and the shot noise power, while the noise power-to-current ratio is increased; the interface roughness is found to lead to a decrease in the differential conductance and the average current, and an increase in the noise power-to-current ratio.

Tunneling Conductance and Magnetoresistance in Ferromagnet/Ferromagnet/d-Wave Superconductor Double Tunnel Junctions

The tunneling conductance and tunneling magnetoresistance (TMR) are investigated in ferromagnet/insulator/ferromagnet/insulator/d-wave superconductor (FM/I/FM/I/d-wave SC) structures by applying an extended Blonder-Tinkham-Klapwijk (BTK) approach. We study the effects of the exchange splitting in the FM, the magnetic impurity scattering in the thin insulator interface of FM/I/FM, and noncollinear magnetizations in adjacent magnetic layers on the TMR. It is shown (1) that the tunneling conductance and TMR exhibit amplitude-varying oscillating behavior with exchange splitting, (2) that with the presence of spin-flip scattering in insulator interface of FM/I/FM, the TMR can be dramatically enhanced, and (3) that the TMR depends strongly on the angle between the magnetization of two FMs.

Quantum Theory for Interfacial Roughness and Angle Dependence of Giant Magnetoresistance in Magnetic Multilayers

The giant magnetoresistance (GMR) in magnetic multilayers with current in the plane of the layers is studied by using the quantum-statistical Greens function approach, in which the effects of the interfacial roughness and magnetization configuration on the GMR are included. It is shown that the maximal GMR first increases and then decreases with increasing interfacial roughness, exhibiting a peak at an optimum value of interfacial roughness. An approximately linear dependence of GMR on is obtained, where is the angle between magnetizations of the two successive ferromagnetic layers. Furthermore, the maximal GMR is found to increase with increasing the number of bilayers.

Quantum Analytical Theory for Giant Magnetoresistance in Magnetic Multilayered Cylindrical Systems

Taking into account the quantum size effects and considering three types of scattering from bulk impurities, rough surface and rough interfaces, we use quantum-statistical Greens function approach and Kubo theory to calculate the electronic conductivity and the giant magnetoresistance in magnetic multilayered cylindrical systems. It is found that in the limit of weakly scattering from impurities surface and interfaces, the total conductivity is given by a sum of conductivities of all the subbands and two spin-channels. For each subband and each spin-channel the scattering rate due to the impurities, surface and interfaces is added up.

Influence of Interface Scattering and Quantum Size Effect on the Giant Magnetoresistance in a Magnetic Sandwich Structure

An analytical Greens function approach to the study of the electronic transport in a magnetic sandwich structure is presented. Taking into account the quantum size effect and considering three types of scattering from bulk impurities, rough surface, and two rough interfaces, we calculate the one-particle Greens function and the in-plane conductivity, yield a new formula for conductivity. It is found that (i). the magnetoresistance in the ultrathin spin-value sandwiches shows oscillation as a function of thickness with a period of half Fermi wavelength; (ii) in the thin-film limit and the lowest-order approximation of the surface and interface scatterings, the total conductivity is given by a sum of conductivities of all the subbands and the two spin channels, for each subband and each spin channel the scattering rates due to the impurities, surfaces and interfaces are additive.
