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...
