Two ferromagnetic iron leads form planar tunnel contacts to a superconducting aluminum wire, where the distance of the two contacts is of the order of the coherence length of the aluminum. We observe a negative non-local resistance which can be explained by crossed Andreev reflection, a process where an electron incident from one of the leads gets reflected as a hole into the other, thereby creating a pair of spatially separated, entangled particles.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2005-12-19T11:17:00.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "keywords": [ "crossed andreev reflection", "experimental evidence", "form planar tunnel contacts", "mesoscopic superconductor-ferromagnet spin-valve structures", "electronic transport properties" ], "tags": [ "conference paper", "journal article" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 2, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable" } } }
