Abstract

An exchange-biased spin valve, Py/CuNi/Nb/CuNi/Py/FeMn, was employed to investigate the dependence of T_c on the magnetization orientation of two ferromagnetic CuNi layers that sandwich a superconducting Nb layer. It was observed experimentally that T_c^AP>T_c^P. Thus, optimization of the value of δT_c and a better theoretical understanding were warranted to obtain further insights and to explore practical applications.
