Current-voltage characteristics of low-resistance tunnel structures ferromagnet-insulator-superconductor Co2CrAl–I–Pb

A physical model of tunneling processes leading to a nonequilibrium superconducting state in ferromagnet-superconductor junctions is proposed and confirmed experimentally. The model is based on the analysis of experimental current-voltage characteristics and the determination of junction voltage dependences of the energy gap, the effective chemical potential and the effective temperature of quasiparticles in the modified energy distribution of quasiparticles as well as on taking into account the change in the density of electron states due to destruction of the Cooper pairs, caused by the proximity effect.
