We present a comparative study of vortex-glass (VG) phase, vortex pinning and vortex dynam- ics in superconducting niobium-rhenium (NbRe) films and NbRe/Permalloy bilayers fabricated by DC magnetron sputtering technique, where permalloy (Py) serves as the ferromagnetic layer. Cur- rent–voltage characteristics were measured as a function of temperature and magnetic field to in- vestigate the VG transition, analyzed through scaling laws to determine the VG phase line, Hg (T ). NbRe films exhibit systematically higher Hg (T ) magnitude than the NbRe/Py bilayers, indicating stronger vortex pinning in the former. The reduced Hg (T ) trend observed in the NbRe/Py bilay- ers is attributed to the superconducting proximity effect and the homogeneous magnetic exchange interaction at the NbRe/Py interface. To further elucidate the pinning properties, critical current densities and pinning forces were evaluated, revealing that vortex pinning is strongly influenced by structural inhomogeneities and disorder in both systems, with consistently larger pinning forces in NbRe films. The weaker pinning in NbRe/Py bilayers is reflected in their vortex-instability behavior, characterized by significantly their higher vortex velocities compared to NbRe films.
