Abstract

The effect of the ferromagnetic insulator on tunneling conductance in ferromagnetic semiconductor/ferromagnetic insulator/ p-wave superconductor (FS/FI/P) junctions is studied based on a scattering theory. Three kinds of pairings for the P side are chosen: p x , p y ,p x + ip y waves. It is shown that the spin filtering effect originating from the exchange field in the FI strongly modifies the normalization conductance. Many novel features including the zero-bias conductance dip and splitting are exhibited for fixed spin polarization in the FS. The tunneling spectrum for the heavy holes is much different from that for the light holes due to the different mismatches in the effective mass and Fermi velocity between FS and P.
