Abstract
We demonstrate the coexistence of superconductivity and ferromagnetism in Bi3Ni nanostructures that have been prepared by making use of novel chemical-reaction paths. We have characterized their magnetic and superconducting properties by means of magnetometry and electrical-transport measurements. Other than in bulk geometry, submicrometer-sized particles and quasi-one-dimensional nanoscaled strains of single-phase Bi3Ni undergo ferromagnetic order. Superconductivity in confined Bi3Ni emerges in the ferromagnetically ordered phase and is stable up to remarkably high magnetic fields. Uniquely, ferromagnetic hysteresis at zero resistance is observed in nanostructured Bi3Ni.
