Magnetic and Superconducting Properties of the Heterogeneous Layered Structures V/Fe{sub 0.7}V{sub 0.3}/V/Fe{sub 0.7}V{sub 0.3}/Nb and Nb/Ni{sub 0.65(0.81)}Cu{sub 0.35(0.19)}

The heterogeneous ferromagnetic–superconducting layered heterostructures V/Fe{sub 0.7}V{sub 0.3}/V/Fe{sub 0.7}V{sub 0.3}/Nb and Nb/Ni{sub 0.65(0.81)}Cu{sub 0.35(0.19)}, which contain magnetic clusters and ferromagnetic domains, are studied. The magnetic and superconducting properties of the structures depend on the magnetic-layer thickness, the magnetic field, and the time elapsed from structure preparation. We detected the interaction of clusters with a domain structure, diamagnetism and magnetization reversal of the magnetic layer during the superconducting transition in a ferromagnetic–superconducting heterostructure, and a superconducting transition in the magnetic layer. The magnetic and resistive properties of the heterostructures changed in several weeks and months.

Neutron Microbeam from a Planar Waveguide

The angular divergence of a narrow divergent neutron microbeam escaping from the end of a three-layer film waveguide has been measured as a function of the waveguiding layer width and the neutron wavelength. This microbeam originates from a conventional neutron beam that is incident on the surface of the film, propagates along the middle layer, and escapes from the end face in the form of a narrow divergent microbeam. The experimental results are compared with calculations.

Reflexivity and Correlation of Magnetic States of Nanostructures in the Nb(70 nm)/Ni{sub 0.65}Cu{sub 0.35}(6.5 nm)/Si Ferromagnet–Superconductor Heterostructure

We have studied the Nb(70 nm)/Ni{sub 0.65}Cu{sub 0.35}(6.5 nm)/Si layered structure in the temperature range T = 1.5–10 K using polarized neutron reflectometry. The correlation of the states of magnetic structures is observed at temperature T = 9 K, which is slightly higher than the superconducting transition temperature T{sub c} = 8.5 K of the structure. At temperature T = 4 K, which is lower than T{sub c}, the effect of reflexivity of magnetic states existing at T = 9 K was observed.

Channeling of Neutrons in a Planar Waveguide

The propagation of neutrons in the middle layer of a planar waveguide in the form of a three-layer thin film has been investigated. The microbeam from the end face of the film has been registered. The neutron channeling length has been measured as a function of the thickness of the upper waveguide layer and the resonance order. The experimental data have been compared with theoretical results.

Relaxation of the magnetic state of a ferromagnetic–superconducting layered structure

We have proposed a real-time method of neutron reflectometry. The magnetic state of the Ta/V/FM/Nb/Si ferromagnetic–superconducting system has been analyzed. Relaxation of the inhomogeneous magnetic state with a characteristic time of several hours, which depends on the magnetic field magnitude and temperature, has been observed. The relaxation of the domain structure has changed upon a transition of the V and Nb layers to the superconducting state. It has been concluded that real-time reflectometry data for polarized neutrons are important for determining the origin of magnetism in ferromagnetic–superconducting layered structures.

Magnetism in structures with ferromagnetic and superconducting layers

The influence of superconductivity on ferromagnetism in the layered Ta/V/Fe{sub 1–x}V{sub x}/V/Fe{sub 1–x}V{sub x}/Nb/Si structures consisting of ferromagnetic and superconducting layers is studied using polarized neutron reflection and scattering. It is experimentally shown that magnetic structures with linear sizes from 5 nm to 30 μm are formed in these layered structures at low temperatures. The magnetization of the magnetic structures is suppressed by superconductivity at temperatures below the superconducting transition temperatures in the V and Nb layers. The magnetic states of the structures are shown to undergo relaxation over a wide magnetic-field range, which is caused by changes in the states of clusters, domains, and Abrikosov vortices.
