M. Baert et al., ENHANCED PINNING AND MATCHING EFFECTS IN SUPERCONDUCTING FILMS WITH ALATTICE OF SUBMICROMETER HOLES, Physica. C, Superconductivity, 235, 1994, pp. 2791-2792
Magnetization studies have been carried out on single Pb films with a
square lattice of submicrometer holes. These submicrometer hole patter
ns create the possibility to trap an integer number, as well as a cert
ain rational number of flux lines per hole corresponding to a regular
organization of flux lines inside the structure. The stable flux line
configurations lead to the appearance of sharp peaks in the magnetizat
ion M(H-perpendicular to).
