Order parameter oscillations in Fe/Ag/Bi2Sr2CaCu2O8+delta tunnel junctions
Mario Freamat, K. -W. Ng
Abstract
We have performed temperature dependent tunneling conductance spectroscopy on Fe/Ag/Bi2Sr2CaCu2O8 (BSCCO) planar junctions. The multilayered Fe counterelectrode was designed to probe the proximity region of the ab-plane of BSCCO. The spectra manifested a coherent oscillatory behavior with magnitude and sign dependent on the energy, decaying with increasing distance from the junction barrier, in conjunction with the theoretical predictions involving d-wave superconductors coupled with ferromagnets. The conductance oscillates in antiphase at E = 0 and E = +/-Delta. Spectral features characteristic to a broken time-reversal pairing symmetry are detected and they do not depend on the geometrical characteristics of the ferromagnetic film.
