Abstract

The properties of the superconducting spin valve Fe1/Cu/Fe2/Cu/Pb on a piezoelectric substrate PMN-PT ([Pb(Mg1/3Nb2/3) O3]0.7 — [PbTiO3]0.3) in external magnetic and electric fields are studied. The magnitude of the shift of the superconducting transition temperature more than 200 mK was found when the mutual orientation of the magnetizations of the ferromagnetic layers changes from antiparallel to perpendicular in the magnetic field H0 = 1 kOe. In this case, an anomalous behavior of the dependence of superconducting transition temperature on the angle between the magnetizations of the ferromagnetic layers was detected, which manifested itself in the maximum values of superconducting transition temperature at an orthogonal orientation of the magnetizations of the ferromagnetic layers. The full effect of the superconducting spin valve was observed. It has been established that with an increase in the applied electric field to the PMN-PT piezoelectric substrate, the shift of the superconducting transition temperature increases. The maximum shift was 10 mK at an electric field strength of 1 kV/cm.
