contents This study investigates the nucleation, dynamics, and stationary configurations of Abrikosov vortices in hybrid superconductor-ferromagnetic nanostructures exposed to inhomogeneous magnetic fields generated by a ferromagnetic nanodot. Using time-dependent Ginzburg-Landau simulations and Maxwell's equations, we observe and provide an explanation for the evolution of curved vortex structures that undergo creep-like deformation while reaching a steady state. Spatial variations in the Lorentz force, along with the interaction between geometric constraints and vortex interactions, give rise to unusual stationary vortex configurations that gradually change with increasing field strength, a behavior not seen in homogeneous magnetic fields. These findings reveal complex pinning mechanisms, providing valuable insights for the optimization and further advancement of nanoscale superconducting systems.
