Oscillatory Nernst effect in Pt|ferrite|cuprate-superconductor trilayer films

Abstract Although magnetism and superconductivity hardly coexist in a single material, recent advances in nanotechnology and spintronics have brought to light their interplay in magnetotransport in thin-film heterostructures. Here, we found a periodic oscillation of Nernst voltage with respect to ma...
