CHARGE, HEAT AND SPIN TRANSPORT IN SUPERCONDUCTING HYBRID STRUCTURES

Orateur : Soutenance d'HDR d'Andrey VASENKO

The thermoelectric transport in superconducting hybrid structures is studied. In these systems the superconductors are placed in electric contact with other materials, for example normal metals, ferromagnets, etc. The proximity and Josephson effects in superconductor/ ferromagnet hybrid structures were studied in diffusive limit. Some novel effects were predicted. On the basis of this research the thermal transport in normal metal/ superconductor micro-refrigerators was studied. There was proposed the model of a micro-refrigerator, which may overcome the existing limitations of the cooling process. Finally, novel project on the electric transport in superconductor/ topological insulator hybrid structures was proposed.
