Correlation enhanced magnetism at a superconducting cuprate/manganite interface
Abstract
Motivated by experimental studies on cuprate-manganite heterostructures, we study a correlated bilayer Hubbard model subject to a local interfacial exchange field using cluster dynamical mean-field theory in the underdoped cuprate regime. We find that superconductivity coexists with a manganite-induced Cu spin polarization. Remarkably, throughout this coexistence regime, the superconducting solution carries a larger magnetic moment than the corresponding constrained normal state. Analysis of the magnetic response shows that this reversal is driven by correlations, which enhance magnetism already in the normal state and even more strongly in the superconducting solution. At stronger exchange fields, superconductivity collapses abruptly, displaying hysteresis consistent with a first-order transition, and a strongly spin-polarized pseudogap emerges. These results show that, under strong electronic correlations, superconductivity can enhance rather than suppress interfacial magnetism.
