Abstract

A giant magnetoresistive - spin valve (GMR-SV) NiFe/CoFe/Cu/CoFe/IrMn/Ta multilayer film was fabricated by ion beam deposition on a commercial high - temperature superconductor Y₁Ba₂Cu₃O 7 - x (YBCO) film. The thickness of the hybrid YBCO thin film was 300 nm and one of the antiferromagnetic IrMn-based GMR-SV thin film was 55 nm. The superconductor characteristics of the YBCO thin films were confirmed by the R-T curve measured with 4-terminal and the Q-T and I-V curves measured with a microwave cavity resonator. In particular, the phenomenon of negative magnetoresistance (MR) ratio in the reversed MR curve of -7.4% is explained by the current transfer effect from the MR and the I-V curves measured by the 2-, 3-, and 4-probe methods at 77 K below the critical temperature. It was also confirmed by SEM image that a gap layer of 9.3 nm was present between the YBCO film and the GMR-SV multilayer. The residual resistance of 0.456 Ω was measured due to the presence of the gap layer and the difference in current transfer was caused by the superconductor depending on the change of the spin magnetization array configuration of GMR-SV.
