© 2015, Nature Publishing Group. All rights reserved. Studies to date on ferromagnet/d-wave superconductor heterostructures focus mainly on the effects at or near the interfaces while the response of bulk properties to heterostructuring is overlooked. Here we use resonant soft x-ray scattering spectroscopy to reveal a novel c-axis ferromagnetic coupling between the in-plane Cu spins in YBa 2 Cu 3 O 7-x (YBCO) superconductor when it is grown on top of ferromagnetic La 0.7 Ca 0.3 MnO 3 (LCMO) manganite layer. This coupling, present in both normal and superconducting states of YBCO, is sensitive to the interfacial termination such that it is only observed in bilayers with MnO 2 but not with La 0.7 Ca 0.3 O interfacial termination. Such contrasting behaviors, we propose, are due to distinct energetic of CuO chain and CuO 2 plane at the La 0.7 Ca 0.3 O and MnO 2 terminated interfaces respectively, therefore influencing the transfer of spin-polarized electrons from manganite to cuprate differently. Our findings suggest that the superconducting/ferromagnetic bilayers with proper interfacial engineering can be good candidates for searching the theorized Fulde-Ferrel-Larkin-Ovchinnikov (FFLO) state in cuprates and studying the competing quantum orders in highly correlated electron systems.
