Abstract
Measurements are reported on the superconducting properties of V/Fe superlatitices showing the interplay between ferromagnetism and superconductivity. When the V layer thickness is on the order of the BCS coherence length and the Fe layer is only a few atomic planes thick, a 2D-3D crossover is observed in the temperature dependence of the parallel upper critical field Hc2{norm of matrix}. This implies the coexistence of superconductivity and ferromagnetism in the Fe layers. Three-dimensional behavior for thinner Fe layers is observed (∼1 atomic plane) and 2D behavior for thicker Fe layers (>10 atomic planes).
