Abstract

A thin film bilayer of Pr0.5Ca0.5MnO3 and YBa2Cu3O7 has been deposited on LaAlO3 substrate by pulsed laser deposition. XRD pattern confirms the formation of the bilayer. Current and magnetic field dependent resistance measurements have been carried out to study the proximity effect. These measurements have shown that the superconducting transition temperature (Tc) of YBa2Cu3O7 is suppressed to lower temperatures with a progressive increase in current. In addition, a hump like feature appears in resistivity near Tc with increase in applied current. The results are explained on the basis of the formation and growth of ferromagnetic clusters on account of charge order melting in Pr0.5Ca0.5MnO3 upon application of high current and magnetic field.
