Abstract
We propose a new class of composite superconductors with embedded magnetic nanoparticles/nanorods. These nanomagnets can create a thermodynamically st able, frozen, dense flux line network. We discuss the methods of fabricatio n of these novel materials. We show that due to the frozen flux created by magnetic nanorods, the critical current in this composite superconductor ca n be higher than in the superconductor with a comparable density of columna r defects.
