Critical temperature oscillations and reentrant superconductivity has been observed in thin film bilayers and trilayers made of Nb as superconducting (S) and Cu41Ni59 as ferromagnetic (F) metal, for increasing F-layer thickness. This effect is caused by the establishing of the Fulde-Ferrell-Larkin-Ovchinnikov (FFLO) like state in these geometries, leading to interference effects of the superconducting pairing wave function. While in our former investigations S/F bilayers were investigated [1], we here report on F/S bilayers where the S-metal now is grown on top of the F-metal, and the combination of both building blocks to a F/S/F trilayer, i.e. the core structure of the superconducting spin valve [2].
