We present a comprehensive quasiclassical approach for studying transport properties of superconducting diffusive hybrid structures in the presence of extrinsic spin-orbit coupling. We derive a generalized Usadel equation and boundary conditions that in the normal state reduce to the drift-diffusion theory governing the spin-Hall effect in inversion symmetric materials. These equations predict the non-dissipative spin-galvanic effect, that is the generation of supercurrents by a spin-splitting field, and its inverse -- the creation of magnetic moment by a supercurrent. These effects can be seen as counterparts of the spin-Hall, anomalous Hall and their inverse effects in the superconducting state. Our theory opens numerous possibilities for using superconducting structures in magnetoelectronics.

The spin Hall effect (SHE), induced by spin-orbit interaction in nonmagnetic materials, is one of the promising phenomena for conversion between charge and spin currents in spintronic devices. The spin Hall (SH) angle is the characteristic parameter
of this conversion. We have performed experiments of the conversion from spin into charge currents by the SHE in lateral spin valve structures. We present experimental results on the extrinsic SHEs induced by doping nonmagnetic metals, Cu or Ag, with impurities having a large spin-orbit coupling, Bi or Pb, as well as results on the intrinsic SHE of Au. The SH angle induced by Bi in Cu or Ag is negative and particularly large for Bi in Cu, 10 times larger than the intrinsic SH angle in Au. We also observed a large SH angle for CuPb but the SHE signal disappeared in a few days. Such an aging effect could be related to a fast mobility of Pb in Cu and has not been observed in CuBi alloys.
We study theoretically spontaneous currents and magnetic field induced in a superconductor-ferromagnet (S-F) bilayer due to direct and inverse proximity effects. The induced currents {are Meissner currents that appear even in the absence of an extern
al magnetic field due to the magnetic moment in the ferromagnet }and {to the magnetization } in the superconductor . The latter is induced by the inverse proximity effect over a distance of the order of the superconducting correlation length $xi _{S}$. On the other hand the magnetic induction $B$, caused by Meissner currents, penetrates the S film over the London length $lambda _{S}$. Even though $lambda _{S}$ usually exceeds considerably the correlation length, the amplitude and sign of $B$ at distances much larger than $xi _{S}$ depends crucially on the strength of the exchange energy in the ferromagnet and on the magnetic moment induced in the in the S layer.
We have investigated CuNi/Nb/CuNi trilayers, as have been recently used as the core structure of a spin-valve like device [J. Y. Gu et al., Phys. Rev. Lett. 89, 267001 (2002)] to study the effect of magnetic configurations of the CuNi layers on the c
ritical temperature, Tc, of the superconducting Nb. After reproducing a Tc shift of a few mK, we have gone on to explore the performance limits of the structure. The results showed the Tc shift we found to be quite close to the basic limits of this particular materials system. The ratio between the thickness and the coherence length of the superconductor and the interfacial transparency were the main features limiting the Tc shift.
We suggest to use `fluctuation spectroscopy as a method to detect granularity in a disordered metal close to a superconducting transition. We show that with lowering temperature $T$ the resistance $R(T)$ of a system of relatively large grains initial
ly grows due to the fluctuation suppression of the one-electron tunneling but decreases with further lowering $T$ due to the coherent charge transfer of the fluctuation Cooper pairs. Under certain conditions, such a maximum in $R(T)$ turns out to be sensitive to weak magnetic fields due to a novel Maki -- Thompson type mechanism.
Transport characteristics of nano-sized superconducting strips and bridges are determined by an intricate interplay of surface and bulk pinning. In the limiting case of a very narrow bridge, the critical current is mostly defined by its surface barri
er, while in the opposite case of very wide strips it is dominated by its bulk pinning properties. Here we present a detailed study of the intermediate regime, where the critical current is determined, both, by randomly placed pinning centers and by the Bean-Livingston barrier at the edge of the superconducting strip in an external magnetic field. We use the time-dependent Ginzburg-Landau equations to describe the vortex dynamics and current distribution in the critical regime. Our studies reveal that while the bulk defects arrest vortex motion away from the edges, defects in their close vicinity promote vortex penetration, thus suppressing the critical current. We determine the spatial distribution of the defects optimizing the critical current and find that it is in general non-uniform and asymmetric: the barrier at the vortex-exit edge influence the critical current much stronger than the vortex-entrance edge. Furthermore, this optimized defect distribution has a more than 30% higher critical current density than a homogeneously disorder superconducting film.
