Figure 1

This figure contains  

Figure 1(a) contains B-H data (Figure_1a_Data.txt) measured by the Hall probe at 77K parked on top of a disk and an atomic force microscopy (AFM) image insert of the disks (Figure_1a_Insert.jpeg).

Figure 1(b) contains scanning Hall probe microscopy (SHPM) images above the superconducting critical temperature. All SHPM images data are 128x128 pixel arrays.

Figures 1(c-f) contain OOMMF simulations for the stray field and magnetisation of a single disk/ellipse. The data are in Matlab format where the information can be accessed by a 5D matrix OOMMFData(1,X,Y,Z,n) where,
X indicates the x coordinate in first-octant coordinates;
Y indicates the y coordinate in first-octant coordinates;
Z indicates the z coordinate in first-octant coordinates;
n can be (1,2,3) being the x,y,z components of the vector.

Figure 2

This figure contains scanning Hall probe microscopy (SHPM) images from the two hybrid structures studied and described in the  manuscript text. The images were acquired with the Nanomagnetics Ltd SHPM, which was originally developed at Bath.
The Hall probes were fabricated at the University of Bath following a custom made recipe.
All data files are 128x128 pixel arrays.
Figures 2a and 2f are the only images above the superconducting critical state.

Figure 4

This figure contains scanning Hall probe microscopy (SHPM) images from the hybrid structure without dielectric layer with different perpendicular magnetic fields applied. The images were acquired with the Nanomagnetics Ltd SHPM, which was originally developed at Bath.
The Hall probes were fabricated at the University of Bath following a custom made recipe.
All data files are 128x128 pixel arrays.

Figure 5

This figure contains scanning Hall probe microscopy (SHPM) images from the hybrid structure without dielectric layer with different perpendicular magnetic fields applied and a histogram of the vortex-vortex nearest neighbour separations in Figure 5(d). The vortex locations were identified by eye and manually entered into Matlab. The nearest neighbour separations were then calculated using the inbuilt Matlab function DelaunayTri.m

Figure 6

This figure contains scanning Hall probe microscopy (SHPM) images from the hybrid structure without dielectric layer with different perpendicular magnetic fields applied while an in-plane magnetic field of 50 Oe is kept constant exhibiting the 'onion' state. The images were acquired with the Nanomagnetics Ltd SHPM, which was originally developed at Bath.
The Hall probes were fabricated at the University of Bath following a custom made recipe.
All data files are 128x128 pixel arrays.

Figure 8

This figure contains scanning Hall probe microscopy (SHPM) images with different perpendicular magnetic fields applied while an in-plane magnetic field of 100 Oe is kept constant exhibiting the 'onion' state. The images were acquired with the Nanomagnetics Ltd SHPM, which was originally developed at Bath.
The Hall probes were fabricated at the University of Bath following a custom made recipe.
All data files are 128x128 pixel arrays.
