We demonstrate a unique prospect for inducing anisotropic vortex pinning and manipulating
the directional motion of vortices by using the stripe domain patterns of a uniaxial magnetic …

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

We have studied the influence of the magnetization on the superconducting transition
temperature (T c) in bi-and trilayers consisting of the half-metallic ferromagnet La 0.67 Sr …

We investigated the efficiency in magnetic field mitigation of superimposed MgB 2/Fe coaxial
cups with cylindrical symmetry, subjected to an applied magnetic field parallel to their axis …

Scandium oxide (ScO x) thin layers are deposited by high-pressure sputtering (HPS) for
physical and electrical characterization. Different substrates are used for comparison of …

Oxide manganite/cuprate superlattices are an attractive model system to study the proximity
effect in oxide ferromagnet/cuprate superlattices. This report describes recent experimental …

We use a line of miniature Hall sensors to study the effect of magnetic-domain-induced
vortex confinement on the flux dynamics in a superconductor/ferromagnet bilayer. A single …

We have used electron spin resonance to study an epitaxial thin-film sample of the
manganite La 0.6 Ca 0.4 MnO 3 in which ferromagnetic and paramagnetic phases were …

Thin films of La 0.7 Sr 0.3 MnO 3 were grown by molecular beam epitaxy on (001) LaAlO 3
crystals. High resolution X-ray diffraction analysis proves the presence of twins in the films at …

We demonstrate an approach to create a tunable pinning potential in a superconducting/
ferromagnetic (SC/FM) hybrid, allowing the switching of their electronic properties through …
