We report on measurements of structural, superconducting and magnetic properties of tri- and bilayer systems combined of superconducting Pb or V and ferromagnetic Fe. We find an oscillation of the superconducting transition temperature when plotted versus the thickness of the ferromagnetic layer, which we regard as a clear indication of an unconventional, propagating superconducting pair wave function in the S/F systems. We fit our results using recent theoretical model calculations and find evidence for a strongly reduced transparency of the S/F-interface. We regard this as an essential feature of the S/F proximity effect and discuss its physical origin.
