Ferromagnetism and superconductivity – the combination of the antagonistic in complex oxides
Research report (imported) 2006 - Max Planck Institute for Solid State Research
Summary
Heterostructures consisting of superconducting and ferromagnetic oxides open a new field of research to study the mutual interaction of incompatible ground states in solids. As an example spin-polarized quasiparticle injection into high-temperature superconductors is used to study non-equilibrium effects and thus to contribute to the understanding of superconductivity in cuprates.
