Abstract
The problem of the giant vortex state around a magnetic dot which is embedded in a superconducting film is investigated. The full nonlinear, self-consistent Ginzburg-Landau equations are solved numerically in order to calculate the free energy, the order parameter of the host superconductor, the internal magnetic field due to the supercurrents, the corresponding current density, the magnetization probed in the vicinity of the dot, and the normal electron density as a function of the various parameters of the system. We find that, as we increase the magnetic moment of the dot, higher flux quanta vortex states become energetically more favorable, as they can better compete with the external magnetic field via the Meissner effect. In addition to that, they progressively become closer to each other in energy with direct experimental consequences, i.e., physical quantities like magnetization may fluctuate when measured, for example, as a function of a uniform external magnetic field. © 1996 The American Physical Society.
