Abstract

The work is devoted to the study of the processes of formation and analysis of the parameters of a functional nanostructure -- a superconducting spin valve, which is a multilayer structure consisting of ferromagnetic cobalt nanofilms separated by niobium superconductor films. The studies were carried out using molecular dynamics simulations. The atomic structure of individual nanolayers of the system is considered.
