In realistic situations, a typical scenario for applications of type II superconductors
necessarily includes vortices, usually in the presence of currents. Under these …

Flux avalanches, prevalently existing in superconducting thin films, can cause catastrophic
breakdowns of electromagnetic properties and even irreversible damage to …

Local polarization of magnetic materials has become a well-known and widely used method
for storing binary information. Numerous applications in our daily life such as credit cards …

Research on proximity effects in superconductor/ferromagnetic hybrids has most often
focused on how superconducting properties are affected—and can be controlled—by the …

We present a detailed quantitative magneto-optical imaging study of several
superconductor/ferromagnet hybrid structures, including Nb deposited on top of …

In ferromagnet/superconductor bilayer systems, dipolar fields from the ferromagnet can
create asymmetric energy barriers for the formation and dynamics of vortices through flux …

Swirling spin textures, including topologically nontrivial states, such as skyrmions, chiral
domain walls, and magnetic vortices, have garnered significant attention within the scientific …

We image the motion of superconducting vortices in niobium film covered with a regular
array of thin permalloy strips. By altering the magnetization orientation in the strips using a …

Superconductors are well known for their ability to screen out magnetic fields. In type-II
superconductors, as the magnetic field pressure is progressively increased, magnetic flux …

While Abrikosov vortices repel each other and form a uniform vortex lattice in bulk type-II
superconductors, strong confinement potential profoundly affects their spatial distribution …
