Cryptoferromagnetic state in superconductor-ferromagnet multilayers

Abstract

We study a possibility of a non-homogeneous magnetic order (cryptoferromagnetic state) in heterostructures consisting of a bulk superconductor and a ferromagnetic thin layer that can be due to the influence of the superconductor. The exchange field in the ferromagnet may be strong and exceed the inverse mean free time. A new approach based on solving the Eilenberger equations in the ferromagnet and the Usadel equations in the superconductor is developed. We derive a phase diagram between the cryptoferromagnetic and ferromagnetic states and discuss the possibility of an experimental observation of the CF state in different materials.
