We report magnetic and superconducting properties of the modified spin-valve system CoO
x/Fe1/Cu/Fe2/Cu/Pb. Introduction of a Cu interlayer between Fe2 and Pb layers prevents
material interdiffusion process, increases the Fe2/Pb interface transparency, stabilizes and
enhances properties of the system. This allowed us to perform a comprehensive study of
such heterostructures and to present theoretical description of the superconducting spin-

We report magnetic and superconducting properties of the modified spin-valve system . Introduction of a Cu interlayer between Fe2 and Pb layers prevents material interdiffusion process, increases the Fe2/Pb interface transparency, stabilizes and enhances properties of the system. This allowed us to perform a comprehensive study of such heterostructures and to present theoretical description of the superconducting spin-valve effect and of the manifestation of the long-range triplet component of the superconducting condensate.
