Abstract

Josephson junctions containing ferromagnetic materials are generating interest for use in superconducting electronics and cryogenic memory. Optimizing the performance of such junctions is an ongoing effort, requiring exploration of a broad range of magnetic systems. Here, we study supercurrent transmission through Ni/Ru/Ni synthetic antiferromagnets with the idea that their magnetic properties may be superior to those of isolated Ni layers. We find that the decay of the supercurrent as a function of Ni thickness is very slow with a decay length of 7.5 ± 0.8 nm. We also characterize the magnetic properties of the synthetic antiferromagnets as a function of Ni and Ru thicknesses.
