Attenuation of superconductivity in manganite/cuprate heterostructures by epitaxially-induced CuO intergrowths

H. Zhang, N. Gauquelin, G. A. Botton +1

We examine the effect of CuO intergrowths on the superconductivity in epitaxial La_{2/3}Ca_{1/3}MnO_3/YBa_2Cu_3O_{7-δ} (LCMO/YBCO) thin-film heterostructures. Scanning transmission…
