Remotely Induced Magnetism in a Normal Metal using a Superconductor/Ferromagnetic Heterostructure

DOI

While traditionally considered competing phenomena, recent theoretical and experimental work has shown that, when juxtaposed, there is a wealth of proximity effects in structures containing superconducting and ferromagnetic interfaces. Recently while looking for a predicted induced magnetic moment at such an interface, we discovered an altogether new manifestation of magnetism. Not inside the superconductor or ferromagnet, as expected, but instead inside a normal metal (gold) cap placed on the top of the structure. We propose to measure this new type of magnetism in optimised samples and in order to aid theoretical understanding of this effect attempt to control its manifestation by the addition of insulating layers in otherwise identical structures.
