Magnetic Dipoles at Topological Defects in the Meissner State of a Nanostructured Superconductor

Jun-Yi Ge, Vladimir N. Gladioli, Cun Xue +5

In a magnetic field, superconductivity is manifested by total magnetic field expulsion (Meissner effect) or by the penetration of integer multiples of the flux quantum Φ_0. Here we…
