This dissertation describes experimental studies of how a spatially alternating magnetic field can effectively pin the magnetic flux in a superconducting thin f
This research investigates the transport properties of ferromagnetic nanostructures made by nickel or cobalt on superconducting thin films. The superconducting
Mesoscopic superconductors achieve a level of smallness that reveals the dominance of strange quantum effects. In a world driven by the miniaturization of elect
A collection of articles on different approaches to the investigation of surface effects on nanosized magnetic materials, with special emphasis on magnetic nano
The ability to understand and control the unique properties of interfaces has created an entirely new field of magnetism which already has a profound impact in
