Abstract

Point contact Andreev reflection measurements show a correlation between measured spin polarization and the interface scattering parameter Z extracted from fits of the modified Blonder–Tinkham–Klapwijk model to the conductance–voltage curves of superconductor/ferromagnet point contacts. We present a simple spin–flip scattering model which identifies Z2 as the effective scattering parameter and explains the observed exponential decay of the spin polarization
