Abstract

We report the observation of strong magnetic proximity coupling in the heterostructure superconductor ${\mathrm{Sr}}2{\mathrm{VO}}_{3\ensuremath{-}\ensuremath{\delta}}\mathrm{FeAs}$, determined by upper critical field ${H}c2(T)$ measurements up to 65 T. Using the resistivity and the radio-frequency measurements for both $H\ensuremath{\parallel}ab$ and $H\ensuremath{\parallel}c$, we found a strong upward curvature of ${H}c2c(T)$, together with a steep increase in ${H}c2ab(T)$ near ${T}c$, yielding an anisotropic factor ${\ensuremath{\gamma}}H={H}c2ab/{H}c2c$ up to $\ensuremath{\sim}20$, much higher than those of other iron-based superconductors. These are attributed to the Jaccarino-Peter effect, rather than to the multiband effect, due to strong exchange interaction between itinerant Fe spins of the FeAs layers and localized V spins of Mott-insulating ${\mathrm{SrVO}}_{3\ensuremath{-}\ensuremath{\delta}}$ layers. These findings provide evidence for strong antiferromagnetic proximity coupling that is comparable to the intralayer superexchange interaction of the ${\mathrm{SrVO}}_{3\ensuremath{-}\ensuremath{\delta}}$ layer and sufficient to induce magnetic frustration in ${\mathrm{Sr}}2{\mathrm{VO}}_{3\ensuremath{-}\ensuremath{\delta}}\mathrm{FeAs}$.
