Flux Confinement in Mesoscopic Superconductors
We report on flux confinement effects in superconducting submicron line, loop and dot structures. The main idea of our study was to vary the boundary conditions for confinement of the superconducting condensate by taking samples of different topology and, through that, modifying the lowest Landau level ELLL(H). Since the critical temperature versus applied magnetic field Tc(H) is, in fact, ELLL...
متن کاملShapes of flux domains in the intermediate state of type-I superconductors
In the intermediate state of a thin type-I superconductor magnetic flux penetrates in a disordered set of highly branched and fingered macroscopic domains. To understand these shapes, we study in detail a recently proposed ‘‘current-loop’’ model @R. E. Goldstein, D. P. Jackson, and A. T. Dorsey, Phys. Rev. Lett. 76, 3818 ~1996!# that models the intermediate state as a collection of tense curren...
متن کاملImpeded growth of magnetic flux bubbles in the intermediate state pattern of type I superconductors.
Normal state bubble patterns in type I superconducting indium and lead slabs are studied by the high resolution magneto-optical imaging technique. The size of bubbles is found to be independent of the long-range interaction between the normal state domains. Under bubble diameter and slab thickness proper scaling, the results gather onto a single master curve. We calculate the equilibrium diamet...
متن کاملDynamic Formation of Metastable Intermediate State Patterns in Type-I Superconductors
Structure of the intermediate state in type-I superconducting lead (Pb) is shown to be very sensitive to the ramp rate of an applied magnetic field. The configurations of resulting static patterns depend sensitively on the shape of the specimen. In particular, geometric barrier, present in the samples with rectangular cross-section, plays an important role in determining the sharp boundary betw...
متن کاملCritical-state effects on microwave losses in type-II superconductors
We discuss the microwave energy losses in superconductors in the critical state. The field-induced variations of the surface resistance are determined, in the framework of the Coffey and Clem model, by taking into account the distribution of the vortex magnetic field inside the sample. It is shown that the effects of the critical state cannot generally be disregarded to account for the experime...
