Abstract

In the last years, superconducting multilayers have attracted a large amount of studies due to their interesting properties. Infact, these systems can be used, for example, to investigate the coupling between superconducting layers in different situations (superconducting/insulator, superconducting/metallic, superconducting/magnetic), to analyze the properties of superconductivity in the presence of reduced dimensionality, or to better check effects also observed in high critical temperature layered oxides [1–3]. In particular, the study of interlaver superconducting coupling via magnetic separating slabs has lately gained an increased interest because the coexistence between superconductivity and magnetism seems to play an important role in many properties of high temperature compounds [4].
