We present the generalized quasiclassical theory of the long-range superconducting proximity effect in heterostructures with strong ferromagnets, where the exchange splitting is of the order of Fermi energy. In the ferromagnet the propagation of equal-spin Cooper pairs residing on the spin-split Fermi surfaces is shown to be governed by the spin-dependent Abelian gauge field which results either from the spin-orbital coupling or from the magnetic texture. This additional gauge field enters into the quasiclassical equations in superposition with the usual electromagnetic vector potential and results in the generation of spontaneous superconducting currents and phase shifts in various geometries which provide the sources of long-range spin-triplet correlations. We derive the Usadel equations and boundary conditions for the strong ferromagnet and consider several generic examples of the Josephson systems supporting spontaneous currents.

Proximity effect in superconducting heterostructures with strong spin-orbit coupling and spin splitting
Lu, Yao; Heikkilä, Tero T. (American Physical Society, 2019)It has been shown that singlet Cooper pairs can be converted into triplet ones and diffuse into a ferromagnet over a long distance in a phenomenon known as the long-range proximity effect (LRPE). This happens in materials ... -
Nonadiabatic dynamics in strongly driven diffusive Josephson junctions
Basset, J.; Kuzmanović, M.; Virtanen, P.; Heikkilä, T. T.; Estève, J.; Gabelli, J.; Strunk, C.; Aprili, M. (American Physical Society, 2019)By measuring the Josephson emission of a diffusive superconductor–normal metal–superconductor (SNS) junction we access the harmonic content of the current-phase relation (CPR). We experimentally identify a nonadiabatic ... -
Superconducting Triplet Rim Currents in a Spin-Textured Ferromagnetic Disk
Fermin, Remko; van Dinter, Dyon; Hubert, Michel; Woltjes, Bart; Silaev, Mikhail; Aarts, Jan; Lahabi, Kaveh (American Chemical Society (ACS), 2022)Since the discovery of the long-range superconducting proximity effect, the interaction between spin-triplet Cooper pairs and magnetic structures such as domain walls and vortices has been the subject of intense theoretical ... -
Dynamics of Two Ferromagnetic Insulators Coupled by Superconducting Spin Current
Ojajärvi, Risto; Bergeret, F. S.; Silaev, M. A.; Heikkilä, Tero T. (American Physical Society (APS), 2022)A conventional superconductor sandwiched between two ferromagnets can maintain coherent equilibrium spin current. This spin supercurrent results from the rotation of odd-frequency spin correlations induced in the superconductor ... -
Thermodynamics of a Phase-Driven Proximity Josephson Junction
Vischi, Francesco; Carrega, Matteo; Braggio, Alessandro; Virtanen, Pauli; Giazotto, Francesco (MDPI, 2019)We study the thermodynamic properties of a superconductor/normal metal/superconductor Josephson junction in the short limit. Owing to the proximity effect, such a junction constitutes a thermodynamic system where phase ...
