Pair tunneling in ErRh4 films

Description

Pair tunneling measurements have been carried out on ErRh4B4-Lu/sub x/O/sub y/-In thin film junctions. The Fraunhofer-like pattern of the magnetic-field dependence of the dc Josephson current has been found to split at a temperature just above the reentrant transition of ErRh4B4. This suggests the onset of a magnetic structure of semimacroscopic scale which does not break up the superconductivity of the ErRh4B4 electrode into disconnected domains, at least within the surface region probed
