We fabricate and study experimentally all-perovskite-oxide superconductor/ferromagnetic insulator/superconductor (S/FI/S) tunnel junctions made out of the high-temperature cuprate superconductor YBa2Cu3O7−y (YBCO) and the colossal magnetoresistive manganite LaMnO3 (LMO) in the ferromagnetic insulator state. YBCO/LMO/YBCO heterostructures with different LMO thicknesses (5, 10, and 20 nm)...

Memory-functionality superconductor/ferromagnet/superconductor junctions based on the high- T c cuprate superconductors YBa 2 Cu 3 O 7 − x and the colossal magnetoresistive manganite ferromagnets La 2 / 3 X 1 / 3 MnO 3 + δ ( X = Ca , Sr )

Complex oxides exhibit a variety of unusual physical properties, which can be used for designing novel electronic devices. Here we fabricate and study experimentally nanoscale superconductor/ferromagnet/superconductor junctions with the high-Tc cuprate superconductors YBa2Cu3O7−x and the colossal magnetoresistive (CMR) manganite ferromagnets La2/3X1/3MnO3+δ (X=Ca or Sr). We demonstrate...

High bias anomaly in YBa₂Cu₃O7−x/LaMnO₃₊/YBa₂Cu₃O7−x superconductor/ferromagnetic insulator/superconductor junctions: Evidence for a long-range superconducting proximity effect through the conduction band of a ferromagnetic insulator

We study the perpendicular transport characteristics of small superconductor/ferromagnetic insulator/superconductor (YBa₂Cu₃O7−x/LaMnO₃₊/YBa₂Cu₃O7−x) tunnel junctions. At a large bias voltage V∼1 V we observe a steplike onset of excess current that occurs below the superconducting transition temperature Tc and is easily suppressed by a...
