Magneto-optical imaging of magnetic flux patterns in superconducting films with antidots
نویسنده
چکیده
We present the results of experiments on visualization of magnetic flux distribution and its dynamics in high-temperature superconductors with artificial defects. High-Tc superconductor thin films were equipped with a special arrangement of antidots in order to separate the streams of magnetic flux moving in (or out of) the sample. A possibility to alter the direction and depth of flux penetration is clearly demonstrated by means of magneto-optical imaging. The resolution was sufficient for observation of flux in particular antidots, which allows more detailed dynamic analysis of such systems. 2006 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.

متن کاملMagneto Optical Studies of Ybco Thick Films in the Critical State
We present magneto optical studies of the critical state in YBa2Cu3O7-δ (YBCO) thick films prepared using BaF2 ex-situ post reaction process. A fractal-like propagation was observed as the magnetic flux entering the superconducting films, in striking contrast to the behavior expected of a uniform type II superconducting film in the critical state. However, by averaging the flux density over a c...
متن کاملFlux distribution in superconducting films with holes
Flux penetration into type-II superconducting films is simulated for transverse applied magnetic field and flux creep dynamics. The films contain macroscopic nonconducting holes, and we introduce the holes in the simulation formalism by reconstruction of the magnetic field change inside the holes. We find that the holes induce a region of reduced flux density extending toward the nearest sample...

The single crystals were grown out of FeAs flux while polycrystalline sample was grown by hot-press. A MOI film with in-plan magnetization was...
متن کاملNucleation and collapse of the superconducting phase in type-I superconducting films.
The phase transition between the intermediate and normal states in type-I superconducting films is investigated using magneto-optical imaging. Magnetic hysteresis with different transition fields for collapse and nucleation of superconducting domains is found. This is accompanied by topological hysteresis characterized by the collapse of circular domains and the appearance of lamellar domains. ...
