We have demonstrated the coexistence of superconductivity and ferromagnetism in Bi₃Ni nanostructures which have been prepared by making use of novel chemical-reaction paths [1]. Here, we present recent experiments on novel nanostructures, such as supercrystals consisting of packed Bi₃Ni nanofibers. We have investigated their magnetic and electrical-transport properties by means of XMCD, SQUID magnetometry, pulsed-field susceptometry, and ac-resistance measurements in a wide field and temperature range. Resistivity measurements demonstrate that superconductivity persists well above the Pauli limiting field - with strong anisotropy. These results will be presented in the context of a coexistence of superconductivity and ferromagnetism.

Part of this work was performed at the NHMFL and ESRF beamline ID08.
