| The behavior of vortex pinning induced by the magnetic domain reversal is studied in the ferromagnet/superconductor bilayers in which superconducting film is niobium and the ferromagnetic layers are the Co/Pt superlattices with perpendicular magnetic anisotropy. The local magnetic field across narrow ferromagnet/superconductor bilayer stripe is measured using a line of miniature Hall sensors. The pinning is studied for samples with different amount of repeats of Co/Pt superlattice, and as a function of temperature. |
