Epitaxial bilayers of YBa2Cu3O7-δ (YBCO) and La0.67Ca0.33MnO3 (LCMO) heterostructures have been prepared by pulsed laser deposition technique, the growth sequence being YBCO on LCMO. The length scale of the YBCO layer, which is rendered non-superconductor/insulator by selfinjection of the spin polarized quasiparticles, is estimated to be 850Å. This can be an important guiding parameter in spintronic device configuration/fabrication.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
