abstract = {The strong correlation and electronic competition in
superconductor (SC)/ferromagnet (FM) lead to the appearance
of proximity effects in appropriately designed SC/FM thin
film heterostructures. Proximity effects emerge at the
interface and have different length scales depending on the
materials properties. Recently, proximity effects with
different characteristics have been reported when
considering heterostructures based on conventional SC and FM
with either in-plane or perpendicular magnetic anisotropy
(PMA). However, there are few contributions regarding
proximity effects in heterostructures based on high critical
temperature (Tc) SC and FM with PMA. Such effects are of
strong interest for applications in spin-triplet Josephson
Junctions that involve the manipulation of fluxons, such as
superconducting Qubits, for quantum computing and in the
development of quantum electronics [1–4]. SrRuO3 (SRO) is
a suitable FM candidate due to its strong PMA with narrow
domain walls, high spin-orbit coupling, anomalous Hall and
Berry effects, and excellent lattice match with the high-Tc
SC YBa2Cu3O7-x (YBCO). In this work, we report morphologic,
structural, magnetic and magnetotransport results of
epitaxial YBCO/SRO and SRO/YBCO heterostructures prepared on
low miscut SrTiO3 (001) single crystals using high oxygen
pressure sputtering. We have observed proximity effects
characterized by (i) a reduction in the SC Tc and (ii) an
anomalous magnetoresistance (MR) near the superconductivity
onset. We suggest that the change in the MR signal may be
related to the competition between the FM and SC states of
SRO and YBCO, respectively. Additionally, the MR curves
shape at low fields resemble weak localization and
antilocalization effects characteristic of semiconductors
and topologic insulators at low temperature [5]. Such
features may be correlated to the high Ru deficiency in the
SRO layer and to a possible orbital reconstruction at the
interfaces, which will be further investigated by
synchrotron and neutron scattering techniques. This study
advances our understanding of the intricate relationship
between magnetism and superconductivity in high-Tc SC/FM
systems, while illuminating potential future materials for
quantum electronics.References:[1] Sedlmayr, N., $\&$
