Proximity effects near the interface between d-wave superconductors and ferro/antiferromagnets

We study the proximity effects near the interface between a d-wave superconductor (S) and a ferromagnet (F) or an antiferromagnet (AF). The S-side (F and AF-side) is described by the attractive (repulsive) Hubbard model, and the Bogoliubov de Gennes equation derived within the Hartree-Fock approximation is solved numerically. The superconducting order parameter and the magnetization (m) can coexist near the interface, and the spatial variation of m induces the spin-triplet p-wave component in both F and AF cases. The local density of states is also calculated and discussed.Comment: 4 pages, 7 ps figures, to appear in J.Phys.Soc.Jpn. Vol.68, No.1

The effect of die half angle in tube nosing with relieved die

This research concentrates on rotary nosing using cone shape dies, in particular using “relieved dies”. “Relieved die” is a cone-shape die with contact surfaces and grounddown relieved surfaces. The objective of this research is to improve the forming limit by reducing the necessary force during the process. The present research focuses attention on the effect of die half angle. Die half angle is important parameter because the angle of nosing depends on the angle of the die in press and rotary nosing. According to the previous research, the forming limit is highest when the number of contact areas is three [1]. Therefore, this paper researched on the effect of die half angle by experiment and calculation, FEM, under the condition that the number of contact areas is three. It is revealed that the optimum contact angle changes depending on the die half angle
