Rotational magnetic processes in a type-II superconductor

  • 1. Chicago Univ., IL (USA)
  • 2. Argonne National Lab., IL (USA)

Description

Magnetisation-vector (M) measurements were made on a disk of compacted Nb powder in a fixed field H at 4.2 K. M is separable into a non-rotating diamagnetic component (≅-H/4π) plus a penetrating-flux component which (for H > Hc1) rotates with the sample but only up to some critical angle, indicating a frictional torque due to flux pinning
