Abstract
⺠We furnish superconducting Nb thin films with linearly-extended uniaxial pinning nanostructures. ⺠An array of Co stripes is deposited by focused electron beam-induced deposition. ⺠Nanostructures are designed to be commensurate with the vortex lattice at small magnetic fields. ⺠We investigate vortex lattice matching effects by magneto-transport measurements. ⺠Drops in Ï(B) are observed only when the vortex lattice parameter matches the nanostructure period. ⺠No matching effects corresponding to the Co stripe width have been observed. ⺠Drops in Ï(B) are more pronounced for the vortex motion perpendicular to the Co stripes.
