Triplet superconducting correlations in oxide heterostructures with a composite ferromagnetic interlayer
Journal article, 2013
The superconducting current induced by the penetration of the long-range triplet component of superconducting correlations into a composite ferromagnetic interlayer has been detected in mesa-heterostructures based on oxide cuprate superconductors YBa2Cu3O7 - delta and Au/Nb bilayer films with the composite oxide interlayer that is made of ferromagnetic films of manganite La0.7Sr0.3MnO3 and ruthenate SrRuO3 and has a thickness much larger than the length of correlations determined by the exchange field. The deviation of the superconducting current in the mesa-heterostructure with the fraction of the second harmonic of 13% from a sinusoidal current-phase relation has been detected; this deviation can also be due to the generation of the triplet component of superconducting correlations in the ferromagnet.
