Abstract

In superconducting/ferromagnetic (S/F) multilayers, the strong pair breaking in the F layers has a pronounced influence on the superconductivity in the S layers. This can be seen in a strong decrease of Tc with decreasing S layer thickness, which leads to a critical thickness dcr for the occurrence of superconductivity. By combining V with Fe, Co, Ni, and the ferromagnetic alloys V0.50Fe0.50 and V0.65Fe0.35, we show that dcr is not simply correlated with the magnitude of the magnetic moments.
