We report on the fabrication and measurements of metallic Josephson junctions (JJs) consisting of Au nanoribbon and NbTi superconducting electrodes. The maximum supercurrent density in the junction reaches up to ~ 3×10⁵ A/cm² at 2.5 K, much larger than that of JJ using single-crystalline Au nanowire. Temperature dependence of the critical current exhibits an exponential decay behavior with increasing temperature, which is consistent with a long and diffusive junction limit. Under the application of a magnetic field, monotonous decrease of the critical current was observed due to a narrow width of the Au nanoribbon. Our observatons suggest that NbTi/Au/NbTi JJ would be a useful platform to develop an integrated superconducing quantum circuit combined with the superconducting coplanar waveguide and ferromagnetic π junctions.

강자성 초전도체의 발견은 상극으로 알려진 강자성과 초전도성이 어떻게 상호작용하여 조화롭게 공존하는지에 대한 학문적인 연구뿐만 아니라 새로운 기술적인 응용을 위한 광범위한 탐구를 이끌고 있다. 본 해설논문에서는 강자성 초전도체에 대한 이해를 돕기 위하여, 먼저 초전도체의 쿠퍼쌍을 깨뜨리는 강한 자기장의 궤도 효과와 상자성 효과에 대하여 설명한다. 자기장의 이러한 효과 이외에도 초전도체/강자성체 복합 구조의 계면에서 발생하는 근접 효과에 의해 단일상 쿠퍼쌍은 강자성체를 지나가는 동안 불안정하여 아주 짧은 침투깊이를 가진다. 그러나 쿠퍼쌍이 홀-진동수 삼중상인 경우 안정되고 긴 유효길이를 가지게 되는데, 새로운 스핀 전자소자로서의 개발을 위해 그 연구의 중요성이 높아지고 있다. 마지막으로 다양한 강자성 초전도체와 양자구속효과에 의해 두 성질이 공존하는 저차원의 물질들을 소개한다.

We present an experimental investigation of the superconducting transition temperatures, $T_c$, of superconductor/ferromagnet bilayers with varying the thickness of ferromagnetic layer. FeN was used for the ferromagnetic (F) layer, and NbN and Nb were used for the superconducting (S) layer. The results were obtained using three different-thickness series of the S layer of the S/F bilayers: NbN/FeN with NbN thickness, $d_{NbN}{\approx}9.3nm$ and $d_{NbN}{\approx}10nm$, and Nb/FeN with Nb thickness $d_{Nb}{\approx}15nm$. $T_c$ drops sharply with increasing thickness of the ferromagnetic layer, $d_{FeN}$, before maximal suppression of superconductivity at $d_{FeN}{\approx}6.3nm$ for $d_{NbN}{\approx}10nm$ and at $d_{FeN}{\approx}2.5nm$ for $d_{Nb}{\approx}15nm$, respectively. After shallow minimum of $T_c$, a weak $T_c$ oscillation was observed in NbN/FeN bilayers, but it was hardly observable in Nb/FeN bilayers.

Superconductor-ferromagnet thin film heterostructure is an ideal system for studying the interplay between superconductivity and ferromagnetism. These two antagonistic properties combined in thin film heterostructure create interesting proximity effects such as spin-triplet superconductivity. Thin film heterostructure of optimally doped La_2-xSr_xCuO₄(LSCO) cuprate superconductor and SrRuO₃(SRO) ruthenate ferromagnet has been grown by pulsed laser deposition. Its temperature-dependent resistivity and Hall effect measurements show that our LSCO/SRO heterostructure has both superconductivity and ferromagnetism. In the Hall effect measurement results, we find additional hump-like structures appear in the anomalous Hall effect signal in the vicinity of superconducting transition. We conclude that giant magnetoresistance of the LSCO layer distorts the AHE signal, which results in a hump-like structure.
