Abstract
Beyond the well-known Abrikosov and giant vortex configurations, new solutions to the Ginzburg–Landau model corresponding to vortices of integer and half-integer winding number are described. Phase diagrams (Bext, Energy) and magnetization curves have been determined, aiming towards an understanding of the magnetic properties of lead nanowires and the possible consequences of such solutions with respect to the switching mechanism between vortex states in mesoscopic superconductors.
