摘要
Multilayers of superconducting/ferromagnetic (SC/FM) YBa2Cu3O7/La2/3Ca1/3MnO3 have been studied by neutron reflectometry. The occurrence of a structurally forbidden Bragg peak in the FM state highlights a significant difference between the nuclear and magnetic depth profiles. From comparison with simulated reflectivity curves we identify two possible magnetization profiles: (i) a magnetic moment within the SC layer antiparallel to the one in the FM layer (antiphase magnetic proximity effect) or (ii) a "dead" region in the FM layer with zero net magnetic moment. In addition, we observe an anomalous enhancement of the off-specular reflection in the SC state which signals a strong mutual interaction between SC and FM order parameters.
