报告摘要
In this talk, flux penetrations and thermomagnetic instabilities in three-dimensional nanostructured superconductors visualized using magneto-optical imaging are presented. In two-layer superconducting shifted strip arrays (S-SSA), where strips in the neighboring layers are shifted by half a period, we find a novel flux avalanche traversing strips that are not electrically connected to each other. In a series of experiments on S-SSA, we clarify the evolution of flux avalanches by increasing the layer number and introducing various types of asymmetries. We also studied flux penetrations into two layers of superconducting multiple-square washers (S-MSW) that are stacked by shifting neighboring layers as in S-SSA. Contrary to our expectations, we do not observe large scale flux avalanches in S-MSW. However, when a part of the washer is cut using FIB, we immediately recovered a situation similar to S-SSA. There appear flux avalanches and characteristic flux penetrations at the inner corners of washers. These complicated flux penetrations into disconnected S-MSW are discussed based on thermomagnetic instabilities and the current crowding effect.
