Direct visualization of magnetic vortex pinning in superconductors
M. Menghini, R. B. G. Kramer, A. V. Silhanek +6
We study the vortex structure in a Pb film deposited on top of a periodic array of ferromagnetic square microrings by combining two high resolution imaging techniques: Bitter decor…
Type-1.5 Superconductors
V. V. Moshchalkov, M. Menghini, T. Nishio +6
We demonstrate the existence of a novel superconducting state in high quality two-component MgB2 single crystalline superconductors where a unique combination of both type-1 (kappa…
Self organized mode locking effect in superconductor / ferromagnet hybrids
J. Van de Vondel, A. V. Silhanek, V. Metlushko +3
The vortex dynamics in a low temperature superconductor deposited on top of a rectangular array of micrometer size permalloy triangles is investigated experimentally. The rectangul…
Magnetic dipole induced guided vortex motion
N. Verellen, A. V. Silhanek, V. Metlushko +4
We present evidence of magnetically controlled guided vortex motion in a hybrid superconductor/ferromagnet nanosystem consisting of an Al film on top of a square array of permalloy…
Voltage rectification effects in mesoscopic superconducting triangles: experiment and modelling
N. Schildermans, A. B. Kolton, R. Salenbien +3
The interaction of externally applied currents with persistent currents induced by magnetic field in a mesoscopic triangle is investigated. As a consequence of the superposition of…
On the origin of the reversed vortex ratchet motion
W. Gillijns, A. V. Silhanek, V. V. Moshchalkov +2
We experimentally demonstrate that the origin of multiply reversed rectified vortex motion in an asymmetric pinning landscape is a consequence not only of the vortex-vortex interac…
