摘要：
We use local and global magnetometry measurements to study the influence of magnetic domain width omega on the domain-induced vortex pinning in superconducting/ferromagnetic bilayers, built of a Nb film and a ferromagnetic Co/Pt multilayer with perpendicular magnetic anisotropy, with an insulating layer to eliminate the proximity effect. The quasiperiodic domain patterns with different and systematically adjustable width w, as acquired by a special demagnetization procedure, exert tunable vortex pinning on a superconducting layer. The largest enhancement of vortex pinning, by a factor of more than 10, occurs when omega approximate to 0.31 mu m is close to the magnetic penetration depth.
