| dc.description.abstract | We show magnetoresistance in excess of 1000% in trilayers containing highly spin-polarized La_(0.7)Ca_(0.3)MnO_(3) and high-T_(c) superconducting YBa_(2)Cu_(3)O_(7). This large magnetoresistance is reminiscent of the giant magnetoresistance (GMR) in metallic superlattices but with much larger values, and originates at spin imbalance due to the injection of spin-polarized carriers. Furthermore, in contrast to ordinary GMR, the magnetoresistance is intimately related to the superconductivity in the YBa_(2)Cu_(3)O_(7) layer and vanishes in the normal state. This result, aside from its fundamental importance, may be of interest for the design of novel spintronic devices based on ferromagnet/superconductor structures. | |
