Abstract
Here we review the literature concerning measurement of the Andreev reflection between a superconductor (S) and ferromagnet (F), with particular attention to the case where the ferromagnet is a transition metal oxide. We discuss the practicality of utilization of the current models for determination of the transport current spin polarization and examine the evidence for Andreev bound states.Funding Information
