Abstrakt: We have studied the proximity effect in an SF 1 S 1 F 2 s superconducting spin valve consisting of a massive superconducting electrode (S) and a multilayer structure formed by thin ferromagnetic (F 1 , 2 ) and superconducting (S 1 , s) layers. Within the framework of the Usadel equations, we have shown that changing the mutual orientation of the magnetization vectors of the F 1 , 2 layers from parallel to antiparallel serves to trigger superconductivity in the outer thin s-film. We studied the changes in the pair potential in the outer s-film and found the regions of parameters with a significant spin-valve effect. The strongest effect occurs in the region of parameters where the pair-potential sign is changed in the parallel state. This feature reveals new ways to design devices with highly tunable inductance and critical current. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
