Abstract
A spin polarized current has been injected into high T-c superconductors re sulting in a significant reduction in the superconductor's critical current . Such injection may serve as the basis of a new class of superconducting d evices for control, switching and amplification. Preliminary results using both Permalloy and CMR materials as injectors an presented. (C) 1998 Americ an Institute of Physics.
