Magnetism, superconductivity and coupling in cuprate heterostructures probed by low-energy muon-spin rotation

We present a low-energy muon-spin-rotation study of the magnetic and superconducting properties of YBa2Cu3O7/PrBa2Cu3O7 trilayer and bilayer heterostructures. By determining the magnetic-field profiles throughout these structures we show that a finite superfluid density can be induced in otherwise semiconducting PrBa2Cu3O7 layers when juxtaposed to YBa2Cu3O7 electrodes while the intrinsic antiferromagnetic order is unaffected.
