| We report on the growth, structural and magnetic characterization of Nd 0.81 Sr 0.19 MnO 3 /YBa>dwi{2}>Cu 3 O 7 (NSMO/YBCO) superlattices. The NSMO system for the doping level of x=0.19 is a ferromagnetic insulator. Multilayers with a fixed NSMO thickness of 13 unit cells and a varying YBCO layer thickness from 2 unit cells to 6 unit cells were sputtered on LaAlO 3 substrates. An onset of superconducting transition is seen starting from the multilayer with 3 unit cells of YBCO layer thickness. Hysteresis loops recorded above and below the superconducting transition show a signature of interlayer exchange coupling. |
