Negative-μ regime in the ac magnetic response of superconductor nanoshells

Abstract
The time-dependent Ginzburg-Landau formalism is applied to analyze the vortex states and vortex dynamics in superconducting spherical nanoshells, subjected to mutually perpendicular strong dc and weak ac magnetic fields. We demonstrate that nonuniformity of the shell thickness can dramatically affect the ac magnetic response of a 3D array of superconducting nanoshells. Remarkably, this response is strongly influenced not only by the relevant geometric and material parameters and the ac-field frequency but also by the magnitude of the applied dc field: by changing this field the real part of the effective ac magnetic permeability can be tuned from positive values significantly larger than one down to negative values.
