▎ 摘  要

Using the extended Blonder-Tinkham-Klapwijk formalism, the spin-dependent transport properties in a graphene-based normal metal/ferromagnetic barrier/d-wave superconductor(NF(B)d-wave) junction have been studied theoretically. Here, we have mainly studied the influences of spin-dependent barrier and rotation angle of d-wave superconducting order parameter(a) on the charge and spin conductance. It is found that the rotation angle has a strong effect on the amplitude and phase of the charge conductance oscillations. As a remarkable result, we obtained that because of the spin-dependent barrier (F-B), the rotation angle cannot suppress the zero-bias charge conductance and for the maximum rotation angle alpha= pi/4, the charge conductance shows oscillatory behavior which is different from similar non-spin-dependent barrier junctions. We have also shown that the spin filtering application of this junction is drastically changed by the rotation angle alpha. As alpha increases, the spin filtering application enhances, being strongest for alpha =pi/4. At last, we propose an experimental setup to detect our predicted effects. (C) 2014 Elsevier B.V.
