Title: Spin injection induced phase transition in YBa{sub 2}Cu{sub 3}O{sub 7−δ}/Nd{sub 0.35}Sr{sub 0.65}MnO{sub 3} bilayer

Abstract

The spin injection effects from C-type antiferromagnetic Nd{sub 0.35}Sr{sub 0.65}MnO{sub 3} (NSMO) to superconductor YBa{sub 2}Cu{sub 3}O{sub 7−δ} (YBCO) are investigated via the measurement of temperature dependent resistivity with input current from 10{sup −2 }mA to 90 mA. The superconducting transition temperature (T{sub co}) of YBCO decreases with increasing current but at a higher rate with larger thickness of NSMO. Two spin states below T{sub co} are identified as non-equilibrium spin-state and pair-breaking state judging from the width of transition. In particular, the transition from former to later one is observed with NSMO = 30 nm at the current of 30 mA.
