Bistability in a superconducting Al thin film induced by arrays of Fe-nanodot magnetic vortices.
نویسندگان
چکیده
A hybrid system, consisting of an array of Fe nanodots covered by a superconducting Al thin film, exhibits very unusual magnetotransport, including a giant hysteretic magnetoresistance with different reversible or irreversible regimes related to the magnetic state of the array. These effects originate from the magnetic fields produced by magnetic nanodots in the "magnetic vortex state." This is a unique model system in which properties of a magnetic array are transferred into the superconductor.

On Ginzburg–Landau Vortices of Superconducting Thin Films
In this paper, we discuss the vortex structure of the superconducting thin films placed in a magnetic field. We show that the global minimizer of the functional modelling the superconducting thin films has a bounded number of vortices when the applied magnetic field hex < Hc1 +K log | log ε| where Hc1 is the lower critical field of the film obtained by Ding and Du in SIAM J. Math. Anal., 2002. ...
متن کاملDetection of picosecond magnetization dynamics of 50 nm magnetic dots down to the single dot regime.
We report an all-optical time-domain detection of picosecond magnetization dynamics of arrays of 50 nm Ni(80)Fe(20) (permalloy) dots down to the single nanodot regime. In the single nanodot regime the dynamics reveals one dominant resonant mode corresponding to the edge mode of the 50 nm dot with slightly higher damping than that of the unpatterned thin film. With the increase in areal density ...
متن کاملNucleation of vortices inside open and blind microholes.
The critical field of a thin superconducting film with a blind circular hole is found theoretically. It is shown that the value of the critical field is sensitive to the bottom thickness, but the orbital momentum, i.e., the number of vortices which nucleate inside the hole, is not sensitive. A simple boundary condition for a steplike thin film is derived and used for comparative numerical analy...
متن کاملMorphology and magnetic properties of Fe3O4 nanodot arrays using template-assisted epitaxial growth
Arrays of epitaxial Fe3O4 nanodots were prepared using laser molecular beam epitaxy (LMBE), with the aid of ultrathin porous anodized aluminum templates. An Fe3O4 film was also prepared using LMBE. Atomic force microscopy and scanning electron microscopy images showed that the Fe3O4 nanodots existed over large areas of well-ordered hexagonal arrays with dot diameters (D) of 40, 70, and 140 nm; ...
متن کاملControllable manipulation of superconductivity using magnetic vortices
The magneto-transport of a superconducting/ferromagnetic hybrid structure, consisting of a superconducting thin film in contact with an array of magnetic nanodots in the so-called ‘magnetic vortex state’, exhibits interesting properties. For certain magnetic states, the stray magnetic field from the vortex array is intense enough to drive the superconducting film into the normal state. In this ...
