Planar superconductor/ferromagnet hybrids: Anisotropy of resistivity induced by magnetic templates
arXiv:0905.2590 · doi:10.1063/1.3149698
Abstract
We investigated experimentally the transport properties of a superconducting cross-shaped aluminium microbridge fabricated on top of ferromagnetic BaFe12O19 single crystal. It was demonstrated that a one-dimensional domain structure in the ferromagnetic substrate can induce the formation of superconducting channels above magnetic domains. This leads to a giant anisotropy of resistivity of the superconducting bridge, caused by the appearance of continuous paths of supercurrents flowing along domain walls.
