| contents | Nickel/bismuth (Ni/Bi) bilayers are a promising platform for exploring unconventional superconductivity. Ferromagnetic Ni is coupled to Bi, a strong spin orbit metal that only becomes superconducting below approx 10 mK, forming a bilayer exhibits superconductivity at a much higher temperatures, a Tc of 3 to 4 K. Such a bilayer thus makes an ideal system to probe Cooper pairing in strong spin orbit coupled magnetic environments. Magneto transport studies near Tc reveal the behavior of vortex dynamics and exchange proximity effects. It is seen that isolated vortices of the bilayers respond sensitively to out of plane fields, producing antisymmetric transverse resistance peaks attributable to competing Magnus and viscous forces. Control experiments using a ferromagnetic insulator confirm that superconductivity extends throughout the bilayer, not just confined at the interface. Overall, the results provide a unified picture of transport dominated by vortex dynamics and show that a conventional s wave order parameter accounts for the observations, with any likely unconventional contributions being only subtle. |
