We investigate the temperature dependence of the upper critical field, Bc2, in superconductor/ferromagnet (S/F) bilayers as a function of the F-layer thickness, dF, by resistance measurements. We extracted GL coherence lengths and estimated an effective thickness of the superconducting layer by evaluating the perpendicular coherence length at the 3D-2D crossover temperature in the parallel Bc2. We found an unexpected non-monotonous behavior of the effective thickness as a function of dF. Moreover, we investigated the anisotropy of Bc2 by microwave absorption. The results show a deviation from Tinkham’s prediction for thin films, which we attribute to the additional anisotropy induced by the quasi-1D FFLO-like state. Thus, we propose a new type of vortex, developing in the S/F bilayer in magnetic fields applied close to parallel. This work was supported by DFG Grant No. HO955/9-1.
