Abstract
We consider a new class of composite superconducting films with embedded ma gnetic nanorods (stripes). These nanomagnets can create a thermodynamically stable, frozen, dense flux line network. We examine conditions under which the magnetic nanorods (stripes) capture flux and discuss the phase diagram of the frozen flux state. The ground state of this system contains spontan eous current in violation with the time-reversal symmetry.
