Diamagnetic screening in Nb/Ag double layers in contact with a ferromagnet — •H. Stalzer1, A. Cosceev1, C. Sürgers1, and H. v. Löhneysen1,21Physikalisches Institut and DFG Center for Functional Nanostructures (CFN), Universität Karlsruhe, D-76128 Karlsruhe — 2Forschungszentrum Karlsruhe, Institut für Festkörperphysik, D-76021 Karlsruhe

The magnetization M(T,B) of planar superconducting Nb/Ag and Nb/Ag/Fe heterostructures (thicknesses dNb = 200 nm, dAg = 35 - 800 nm, and dFe = 40 nm) epitaxially grown on sapphire (1120) is studied in parallel magnetic fields B between temperatures of T = 0.06 - 10 K. Below the superconducting phase transition of Nb a further diamagnetic signal occurs at a temperature T due to screening currents in Ag induced by the proximity effect. In contact with an additional Fe layer the proximity effect vanishes for thick Ag layers (dAg≥ 200 nm). Surprisingly the diamagnetic transition at T reappears in Nb/Ag/Fe triple layers with a thickness of 20 - 35 nm. Furthermore, we investigate the effect of an additional SiO2 spacer layer of thickness dSiO2 = 1 - 5 nm, separating the Ag and Fe film, on the diamagnetic phase diagram. We propose the realization of a tunable π-contact using weak ferromagnets.
