摘要: We extend the Blonder, Tinkham and Klapwijk theory to the study of the inverse proximity effects in the normal mental/superconductor/ferromagnet structures. In the superconducting film, there are the gapless superconductivity and the spin-dependent density of states both within and without the energy gap. It indicates an appearance of the inverse-proximity-effect-induced ferromagnetism and a coexistence of ferromagnetism and superconductivity near the interface. The influence of exchange energy in the ferromagnet and barrier strength at the superconductor/ferromagnet interface on the inverse proximity effects is discussed.
