Domain wall induced modulation of low field H-T phase diagram in patterned superconductor-ferromagnet stripes

We present a systematic study of the magnetic domain wall induced modulation of superconducting transition temperature (Tc) in Nb/Ni bilayer stripes. By varying the thickness of the Ni layer from 20 nm to 100 nm we have been able to measure the low field Tc-H phase diagram spanning the Néel domain w...
