On the explanation of the paramagnetic Meissner effect in superconductor/ferromagnet heterostructures
An increase of the magnetic moment in superconductor/ferromagnet (S/F) bilayers V(40 nm)/F (, Co(3 nm), Ni(3 nm)) was observed using SQUID magnetometry upon cooling below the superconducting transition temperature T C in magnetic fields of 10 Oe to 50 Oe applied parallel to the sample surface. A similar increase, often called the paramagnetic Meissner effect (PME), was observed before in various s
