Abstract
In superconducting ferromagnets, where superconductivity and ferromagnetism coexist at the same bulk, the equilibrium domain structure is absent in the Meissner state, but it does exist in the spontaneous vortex phase. In a superconductor-ferromagnet bilayer superconductivity and ferromagnetism are separated in space, but affect each other via magnetic fields. The superconducting layer shrinks the size of domains in the ferromagnetic layer by a numerical factor, in contrast to superconducting ferromagnets, where superconductivity can strongly increase the domain size.
