Title Thermally induced transition in the vortex lattice of Ge/Pb multilayers Type Journal Article
Year 1991 Publication (down) Physica C: Superconductivity and its applications Abbreviated Journal Phys C Supercond Appl

Abstract We report on a novel magnetic field dependence of the critical current density of M.B.E. grown Ge/Pb insulator/superconductor multilayers. When the magnetic field is applied perpendicular to the layers, the critical current density Jc drops to a minimum, followed by a broad maximum before finally decaying monotonously to zezero with increasing magnetic field. The dependence of this effect on pinning strength, temperature, and layer thickness suggests either a thermally driven coupling/decoupling transition, or melting of the vortex lattice.

Title Structural, magnetic and electrical properties of ferromagnetic/ferroelectric multilayers Type Journal Article
Year 2011 Publication (down) Journal of Applied Physics Abbreviated Journal J. Appl. Phys.
Volume 109 Issue 12 Pages 123920
Keywords atomic force microscopy; barium compounds; electrical conductivity; ferroelectric materials; ferromagnetic materials; lanthanum compounds; magnetic multilayers; magnetisation; multiferroics; sputter deposition; strontium compounds; superlattices; texture; tunnelling; X-ray diffraction
Abstract The La0.75Sr0.25MnO3 (LSMO)/Ba0.7Sr0.3TiO3 (BSTO) superlattices and bilayers, where LSMO is ferromagnetic and BSTO is ferroelectric, were grown by dc sputtering. X-ray diffraction indicates that the samples present a textured growth with the c axis perpendicular to the substrate. Magnetization measurements show a decrease of the sample’s magnetization for decreasing ferromagnetic thickness. This effect could be related to the presence of biaxial strain and a magnetic dead layer in the samples. Conductive atomic force microscopy indicates that the samples present a total covering of the ferromagnetic layer for a ferroelectric thickness higher than four unit cells. Transport tunneling of the carriers seems to be the preferred conduction mechanism through the ferroelectric layer. These are promising results for the development of multiferroic tunnel junctions.
