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...
