Notes:
We report the strong suppression of YBa2Cu3Oy (YBCO) supercurrent by injection of spin-polarized quasiparticles (QP) using a cobalt ferromagnetic injector. The injection of spin-polarized QP generates a substantially larger nonequilibrium population as compared with that of an unpolarized injection current. The observed current gain depends on the thickness of Au interlayer (dAu) and is directly related to the nonequilibrium magnetization due to spin relaxation effects. For dAu=15 nm, the tunnel characteristic a YBCO/Au/Co junction exhibited a zero bias conductance peak, which may be interpreted by spin scattering processes at a ferromagnetic/d-wave superconductor junction. © 1999 American Institute of Physics.
