الوصف: The ability to locally apply and tune large magnetic fields is a crucial requirement for several devices, most notably for detection and generation of majorana fermions. Such a functionality can be achieved in Superconductor (S) /Ferromagnet (F) bilayers, where superconductivity is strengthened on top of domain walls due to local lowering of the proximity induced effective exchange fields. This is predicted to result in significant superconducting Tc enhancements and possible complete magnetic controlled switching on and off of the superconducting state. By using thin films of superconducting Nb and ferromagnetic insulating (GdN) bilayers, and through detailed magneto-transport measurements, we demonstrate the previously unobserved phenomena of complete switching in and out of the S state in S/F bilayers. In the thinnest of Nb layers, we estimate that the domain wall state induced tunability of proximity induced exchange fields can be as high as 1.3T with application of in plane external fields of only a few mT.
