Non-equilibrium properties of superconducting structures in the presence of spin-dependent fields

Extensive theoretical and experimental works highlight the versatility of hybrid superconducting structures. They find applications in diverse domains such as spintronics, thermoelectricity, and sensors. Most of these applications are based on the non-equilibrium properties of superconductors, i.e., properties that arise out of thermodynamic equilibrium. In this thesis we study the non-equilibrium properties of superconductors in the presence of spin-dependent fields, that is, fields that interact with the spin of quasiparticles, such as Zeeman fields and spin-orbit coupling. Specifically, we study the charge, thermoelectric and spintronic transport in several superconducting hybrid devices.
