The effect of injection of spin polarized quasiparticles from a ferromagnetic gate layer was compared to that of unpolarized quasiparticles from a nonmagnetic metallic gate. Transport measurements of the superconducting layer showed strong suppression in the supercurrent by the injection of spin-polarized quasiparticles, and a current gain of as large as five was attained. This is 10 to 30 times larger than the gain of unpolarized injection devices. Such large effects could be useful in a variety of active high-Tc superconductor/colossal magnetoresistance heterostructure based devices. © 1997 American Institute of Physics.}, year = {1997}, journal = {Applied Physics Letters}, volume = {71}, number = {12}, pages = {1718-1720}, publisher = {American Institute of Physics Inc.}, issn = {00036951}, doi = {10.1063/1.120014}, note = {cited By 157}, language = {eng}, }
