Dependence of Vortex States in Superconductors on a Chiral Helimagnet and an Applied Magnetic Field

Abstract

We study effects of a chiral helimagnet (CHM) on vortex states in a superconductor, solving the Ginzburg-Landau equations in a chiral helimagnet/superconductor bilayer system. We found that vortices form a periodically modulated triangular lattice, because the magnetic field from the chiral helimagnet HCHM oscillates spatially. An increase of a critical current is expected, because vortices are pinned by the HCHM.
