In: Physical Review B, 2019, vol. 100, no. 11, p. 115129

With dc magnetization and polarized neutron reflectometry we studied the ferromagnetic response of YBa2Cu3O7/La2/3Ca1/3MnO3 (YBCO/LCMO) multilayers that are grown with pulsed laser deposition. We found that whereas for certain growth conditions (denoted as A type) the ferromagnetic moment of the LCMO layer is strongly dependent on the structural details of the YBCO layer on which it is ...

We study the element-specific magnetic depth profiles of a YBa2Cu3O7/La2/3Ca1/3MnO3 (YBCO/LCMO) superlattice using soft x-ray resonant magnetic reflectometry (XRMR). This allows us to study the magnetic proximity effect (MPE) that is observed at the YBCO/LCMO interface, characterized by the occurrence of a depleted layer on the manganite side and an induced magnetization in the YBCO. Using the...

Strain-induced ferromagnetism in antiferromagnetic LuMnO₃ thin films

White, J. S. ; Bator, M. ; Hu, Yanqing ; Luetkens, H. ; Stahn, J. ; Capelli, S. ; Das, Saikat ; Döbeli, M. ; Lippert, Th. ; Malik, Vivek Kumar ; Martynczuk, J. ; Wokaun, A. ; Kenzelmann, M. ; Niedermayer, Ch. ; Schneider, C. W.

Single phase and strained LuMnO₃ thin films are discovered to display coexisting ferromagnetic and antiferromagnetic orders. A large moment ferromagnetism (≈1μB), which is absent in bulk samples, is shown to display a magnetic moment distribution that is peaked at the highly strained substrate-film interface. We further show that the strain-induced ferromagnetism and the...

Using polarized neutron reflectometry (PNR) we have investigated a [YBa₂Cu₃O₇(10 nm)/La2/3Ca1/3MnO₃(9 nm)]₁₀ (YBCO/LCMO) superlattice grown by pulsed laser deposition on a La0.3Sr0.7Al0.65Ta0.35O₃ (LSAT) substrate. Due to the high structural quality of the superlattice and the substrate, the specular reflectivity...

We have investigated the magnetization profiles in superlattices composed of the two ferromagnets La0.7Sr0.3MnO₃ and SrRuO₃ using spin-polarized neutron reflectometry. In combination with magnetometry, the neutron data indicate a noncollinear spin configuration where orientation of the Ru moments changes from in plane at the interface to out of plane deep inside the...

Using neutron reflectometry and resonant x-ray techniques we studied the magnetic proximity effect (MPE) in superlattices composed of superconducting YBa₂Cu₃O₇ and ferromagnetic-metallic La0.67Ca0.33MnO₃ or ferromagnetic-insulating LaMnO₃₊. We find that the MPE strongly depends on the electronic state of the manganite layers, being pronounced for the...

Heteroepitaxial superlattices of [YBa₂Cu₃O₇(n)/La0.67Ca0.33MnO₃(m)]x (YBCO/LCMO), where n and m are the number of YBCO and LCMO monolayers and x the number of bilayer repetitions, have been grown with pulsed laser deposition on NdGaO₃ (110) and Sr0.7La0.3Al0.65Ta0.35O₃ (001). These substrates are well lattice...

We investigated with synchrotron x-ray diffraction and reflectometry the formation of structural domains in the near-surface region of single crystalline SrTiO₃ (001) substrates with Y0.6Pr0.4Ba₂Cu₃O₇/La2/3Ca1/3MnO₃ superlattices grown on top. We find that the antiferrodistortive cubic to tetragonal transition, which occurs at...
