Probing the degree of spin polarization of a ferromagnet with ferromagnet/superconductor proximity effect

Pavel V. Leksin, Andrey A. Kamashev, Joachim Schumann +5

Superconductor/ferromagnet proximity effect has been studied for Pb/Co${}_2$Cr${}_{1-x}$Fe${}_x$Al bilayers. Different substrate temperatures allowed us to prepare the Heusler alloy Co$_…
