摘要
An InAs heterostructure-based micro-Hall sensor was used to study the magnetic properties of a superconducting Nb micro-ring, enabling observation of magnetic phenomena such as diamagnetism onset and magnetic flux trapping in the 20-mu m-diameter sample. The superconducting diamagnetism of the micro-ring was observed to develop slowly from T = 7.5 K down to 5 K and showed a notably sharp and substantial drop at 7.0 K, the zero-resistivity temperature obtained from transport measurements on a strip-patterned sample. The observed superconducting transition is discussed in terms of a percolation scenario. In magnetic-field-cooling measurements, the Hall signal from the magnetic flux trapped in the Nb ring at 4.5 K was detected at a sufficiently high level for quantitative comparison with the estimate.
