摘要
We have deposited novel bilayer thin films of a ferromagnetic material and YBa2Cu3O7 separated by a thin Au diffusion barrier to study the effects of a spin polarized nonequilibrium quasiparticle population on the superconducting order parameter, Thin films of YBa2Cu3O7-delta, Au, and permalloy (Ni,,Fe,,) were deposited by pulsed laser deposition onto (100) MgO, SrTiO3 or LaAlO3 substrates. A thin stripe of YBa2Cu3O7-delta was patterned and two pairs of Au cross stripes for current and voltage contact were deposited at each end. Between these contacts a permalloy and a Au cross stripe was also deposited to serve as polarized and unpolarized quasiparticle injection sources, respectively. Utilizing this pseudo-three terminal device configuration we have in some samples measured reductions in the ferromagnet contact as compared to the normal metal contact. Details of this experiment, issues for optimized fabrication, and theoretical issues are discussed.
