Characterization of ferromagnetic/superconductor heterostructures
The interaction between superconducting (SC) and ferromagnetic (FM) order parameters in hybrid SC/FM heterostructures with laterally nonhomogeneous magnetic field distribution in the FM layer causes a controllable switching of the superconducting nucleation and is measured here using neutron diffraction experiments.
Results here show the grazing incidence small angle neutron scattering (GISANS) image for the FePd layer in different sample orientations to the incident beam. Observed are the specular spot as well as the off-specular scattered signals.
