abstract
Josephson junctions made with conventional s-wave superconductors and containing multiple layers of ferromagnetic materials can carry spin-triplet supercurrent in the presence of certain types of magnetic inhomogeneity. In junctions containing three ferromagnetic layers, the triplet supercurrent is predicted to be maximal when the magnetizations of adjacent layers are orthogonal, and zero when the magnetizations of any two adjacent layers are parallel. Here we demonstrate on-off control of the spin-triplet supercurrent in such junctions, achieved by rotating the magnetization direction of one of the three layers by 90$^{\circ}$. We obtain "on-off" ratios of 5, 7, and 19 for the supercurrent in the three samples studied so far. These observations directly confirm one of the most salient predictions of the theory, and pave the way for applications of spin-triplet Josephson junctions in the nascent area of "superconducting spintronics."

Quantized resonant tunneling effect in Josephson junctions with ferromagnetic bilayers
In 1D SF1F2S Josephson junctions, a barrier at the F1/F2 interface creates critical-current resonance peaks at Q_i d_i = (n_i + 1/2)π, attributed to zero-spin-projection triplet pairs, with accumulated phase setting t...
