Classification of magnetic superconductors that may host the spontaneous vortex (SV) phase. The left panels show superconducting ferromagnets (SFMs), while the right panels describe ferromagnetic superconductors (FSCs). a, b, \({H_{{\rm{int}}}}(0) >H_{{\rm{c1}}}^*(0)\); c, d, \(H_{{\rm{c1}}}^*(0) > {H_{{\rm{int}}}}(0)\). See the text for the definitions of H int and \(H_{{\rm{c1}}}^*\). M and M’ denote Meissner states, and NF stands for a non-superconducting ferromagnetic state. Here the upper critical fields, \(H_{{\rm{c2}}}^*(0)\), are assumed to be much larger than \(H_{{\rm{c1}}}^*(0)\) and H int(0)
