Coexistence of Magnetism and Superconductivity in Metallo-Molecular Structures

DOI

Coexistence between the phenomena of superconductivity and ferromagnetism relies on mechanisms such as spin triplet superconductivity. Through spin scattering events, a spin-singlet Cooper pair can be transferred into a spin-triplet pairing. Due to the long diffusion of Cooper pairs we have observed in fullerene thin films , and via the spin ordering emergent at metallo-molecular interfaces we can effect a singlet to triplet conversion in hybrid multilayers and design samples where superconductivity and magnetism are both present. We expect our measurements will confirm the diffusion of Cooper pairs in C60 and the presence of a paramagnetic Meissner effect in Nb/C60/Cu/ C60/Au interfaces.Secondary to this the magnetic profiling of our samples will also help to elucidate the origin and characteristic length of this effect and backup the mSR measurements.
