Polarized neutron reflectometry (PNR) provides evidence that nonlocal electrodynamics governs the magnetic field penetration in an extreme low-k superconductor. The sample is an indium film with a large elastic mean free path (11 mkm) deposited on a silicon oxide wafer. It is shown that PNR can resolve the difference between the reflected neutron spin asymmetries predicted by the local and nonlocal theories of superconductivity. The experimental data support the nonlocal theory, which predicts a nonmonotonic decay of the magnetic field.

Superconductivity in the topological non-trivial Dirac semimetal PdTe$_2$ was recently shown to be type-I. We here report measurements of the relative magnetic penetration depth, $ Delta lambda$, on several single crystals using a high precision tunn
el diode oscillator technique. The temperature variation $Delta lambda (T)$ follows an exponential function for $T/T_c < 0.4$, consistent with a fully-gapped superconducting state and weak or moderately coupling superconductivity. By fitting the data we extract a $lambda (0)$-value of $sim 500$~nm. The normalized superfluid density is in good agreement with the computed curve for a type-I superconductor with nonlocal electrodynamics. Small steps are observed in $Delta lambda (T)$, which possibly relates to a locally lower $T_c$ due to defects in the single crystalline sample. single crystalline sample.
A generalized phenomenological model for the critical state of type-II superconductors with magnetic field parallel to the superconducting plate is proposed. This model considers the global magnetization including both the equilibrium magnetization f
rom surface screening current and the non-equilibrium magnetization from bulk pinning in a self-consistent way. Our model can be used to simulate the magnetization-hysteresis-loops (MHLs) and flux penetrating process of different type-II superconductors, from low- to high-kappa values. Here we take an optimally doped Ba0.6K0.4Fe2As2 single crystal as a testing example. The model can fit the data quite well and several important parameters can be extracted from the fitting. Thus, the model can be extended to a general case for studying the magnetization and flux penetration in other type-II superconductors.
A true critical current density, $j_{c}$, as opposite to commonly measured relaxed persistent (Bean) current, $j_{B}$, was extracted from the Campbell penetration depth, $lambda_{C}(T,H)$ measured in single crystals of LiFeAs. The effective pinning p
otential is non-parabolic, which follows from the magnetic field - dependent Labusch parameter $alpha$. At the equilibrium (upon field - cooling), $alpha(H)$ is non-monotonic, but it is monotonic at a finite gradient of the vortex density. This behavior leads to a faster magnetic relaxation at the lower fields and provides a natural emph{dynamic} explanation for the fishtail (second peak) effect. We also find the evidence for strong pinning at the lower fields. The inferred field dependence of the pinning potential is consistent with the evolution from strong pinning, through collective pinning and, eventually, to a disordered vortex lattice. The values of $j_{c}(2text{K}) simeq 2times10^{6}$ A/cm$^{2}$ provide an upper estimate of the current carrying capability of LiFeAs. Overall, vortex behavior of almost isotropic, fully-gapped LiFeAs is very similar to highly anisotropic d-wave cuprate superconductors, the similarity that requires further studies in order to understand unconventional superconductivity in cuprates and pnictides.
The magnetization of a planar heterostructure of periodically alternating type-II superconductor and soft-magnet strips exposed to a transverse external magnetic field is studied. An integral equation governing the sheet current distribution in the M
eissner state of the superconductor constituents is derived. The field of complete penetration of magnetic flux in the critical state of the superconductor constituents is calculated for different widths of the superconductor and the soft-magnet constituents and a range of values of the relative permeability of the soft-magnet constituents.
We show that while orbital magnetic field and disorder, acting individually weaken superconductivity, acting together they produce an intriguing evolution of a two-dimensional type-II s-wave superconductor. For weak disorder, the critical field H_c a
t which the superfluid density collapses is coincident with the field at which the superconducting energy gap gets suppressed. However, with increasing disorder these two fields diverge from each other creating a pseudogap region. The nature of vortices also transform from Abrikosov vortices with a metallic core for weak disorder to Josephson vortices with gapped and insulating cores for higher disorder. Our results naturally explain two outstanding puzzles: (1) the gigantic magnetoresistance peak observed as a function of magnetic field in thin disordered superconducting films; and (2) the disappearance of the celebrated zero-bias Caroli-de Gennes-Matricon peak in disordered superconductors.
