We have imaged the configuration of trapped magnetic vortices in two-dimensional superconductor arrays and clusters using a scanning SQUID microscope (SSM). The SSM scans a dc SQUID detector over the array surface, achieving better than 10 μm spatial resolution over a scan range up to 1 cm×1 cm and a magnetic flux sensitivity of about 10−4Φ0. We have obtained images of large square arrays cooled at different values of applied magnetic flux per cell Φ. For low rational values (1/2,1/3,1/4,...) of the frustration parameter f=Φ/Φ0, we find regions of periodically arranged vortices separated by domain walls; at other values of the field, the vortex pattern is disordered. We also present observations of vortex patterns in ensembles of 3×3 clusters.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
