The antagonism of superconductivity and magnetism is investigated by fabricating lateral superconductor/ferromagnet/superconductor junctions. Niobium strips connected by a bridge of the dilute ferromagnet PdFe were produced using shadow evaporation techniques. The length of the bridge varied between 200 and 600 nm and the Fe-concentration was 5 %. Measurements of the resistance as a function of an in-plane magnetic field show periodic oscillations, whose amplitude can reach up to 10% of the base resistance, and a hysteretic dip around zero. The oscillations appear close to the superconducting transition and vanish again at lower temperatures. The dip is associated with the magnetization reversal in PdFe.
