摘要
Ferromagnetism and conventional singlet superconductivity can be regarded as competing ordering phenomena. A considerable body of theoretical work over the past twenty years has predicted that at interfaces between the two systems competition or coupling between superconducting and magnetic phenomena are possible. Despite the very short lengthscales over which some of the phenomena exist, many of these predictions have been experimentally realized. The aim of this topical review is to provide an overview of the experimental position and to discuss the potential developments and applications of existing results.
