The temperature dependence of the relaxation dynamics in the bilayer thin film heterostructure composed of multiferroic BiFeO₃ (BFO) and superconducting YBa₂Cu₃O₇ (YBCO) grown on (001) SrTiO₃ substrate is studied by time-resolved pump-probe technique, and compared with that of pure YBCO thin film grown under the same growth conditions. The superconductivity of YBCO is found to be retained in the heterostructure. We observe a speeding up of the YBCO recombination dynamics in the superconducting state of the heterostructure, and attribute it to the presence of weak ferromagnetism at the BFO/YBCOinterface as observed inmagnetization data. An extension of the Rothwarf-Taylor model is used to fit the ultrafast dynamics of BFO/YBCO, that models an increased quasiparticle occupation of the ferromagnetic interfacial layer in the superconducting state of YBCO.
