The proximity effect, quasiparticle transport, and local magnetic moment in
ferromagnet--d-wave superconductor junctions with {110}-oriented interface are
studied by solving self-consistently the Bogoliubov-de Gennes equations within
an extended Hubbard model. It is found that the proximity induced order
parameter oscillates in the ferromagnetic region. The modulation period is
shortened with the increased exchange field while the oscillation amplitude is
depressed by the interfacial scattering. With the determined superconducting
energy gap, a transfer matrix method is proposed to compute the subgap
conductance within a scattering approach. Many novel features including the
zero-bias conductance dip and splitting are exhibited with appropriate values
of the exchange field and interfacial scattering strength. The conductance
spectrum can be influenced seriously by the spin-flip interfacial scattering.
In addition, a sizable local magnetic moment near the {110}-oriented surface of
the d-wave superconductor is discussed.Comment: 10 pages, 16 ps-figures, to appear in Phys. Rev.
