Abstract

This is an introduction to the transport properties of superconductor-ferromagnet hybrid structures. We will discuss tunneling and Andreev reflection at single interfaces, as well as Josephson junctions and non-local transport in multiterminal devices. We present recent experimental highlights, along with the necessary basic theoretical concepts, and references to more specialized reviews are given for further reading.
