Abstract
We study the subgap spin and charge transport in normal metal-ferromagnet-superconductor trilayers induced by bias voltage and/or magnetization precession. Transport properties are discussed in terms of time-dependent scattering theory. We assume the superconducting gap is small on the energy scales set by the Fermi energy and the ferromagnetic exchange splitting, and compute the non-equilibrium charge and spin current response to first order in precession frequency, in the presence of a finite applied voltage. We find that the voltage-induced instantaneous charge current and longitudinal spin current are unaffected by the precessing magnetization, while the pumped transverse spin current is determined by spin-dependent conductances and details of the electron-hole scattering matrix. A simplified expression for the transverse spin current is derived for structures where the ferromagnet is longer than the transverse spin coherence length.
