Coexistence of ferromagnetic and superconducting orders and their interplay in ferromagnet-superconductor heterostructures is a topic of intense research. While it is well known that proximity of a ferromagnet suppresses superconducting order in the
superconductor, there exist few studies indicating the proximity of a superconductor suppressing ferromagnetic order in a ferromagnet. Here we demonstrate a rare observation of the suppression of ferromagnetic order in a LaCaMnO3 layer separated from a YBa2Cu3O7-{delta} layer by a thin insulator (SrTiO3). Polarized neutron reflectivity measurements on LaCaMnO3SrTiO3YBa2Cu3O7-{delta} trilayer deposited on [001] SrTiO3 single crystal substrates shows the emergence of a thin magnetic dead layer in LaCaMnO3 adjacent to the insulating layer below its superconducting transition temperature of YBa2Cu3O7-{delta}. Further, the magnetic dead layer grows in thickness when the insulating layer is made thinner. This indicates a possible tunneling of the superconducting order-parameter through the insulating SrTiO3 inducing modulation of magnetization in LaCaMnO3.
