A method for determining the internal DC magnetic field inside a superconducting cavity is presented. The method relies on the relationship between magnetic field and frequency of the Kittel mode of a ferrimagnetic sphere, hybridised in the dispersive regime of the superconducting cavity. Results were used to experimentally determine the level of screening a superconducting Nb cavity provides as it changes from perfect diamagnetism to no screening. Two cavity geometries were tested, a cylinder and single post re-entrant cavity. Both demonstrated a consistent value of field that enters the cavity, expected to be the superheating critical field. Hysteresis in the screened field during ramp up and ramp down of the external magnetic field due to trapped vortices was also observed. Some abnormal behaviour was observed in the cylindrical cavity in the form of plateaus in the internal field above the first critical field, and we discuss the potential origin of this behaviour. The measurement approach would be a useful diagnostic for axion dark matter searches, which plan on using superconducting materials but need to know precisely the internal magnetic field.

Phase-sensitive measurements of the superconducting gap in Fe-based superconductors have proven more difficult than originally anticipated. While quasiparticle interference (QPI) measurements based on scanning tunneling spectroscopy are often propose d as defnitive tests of gap structure, the analysis typically relies on details of the model employed. Here we point out that the temperature dependence of momentum-integrated QPI data can be used to identify gap sign changes in a qualitative way, and present an illustration for $s_{pm}$ and $s_{++}$ states in a system with typical Fe-pnictide Fermi surface.
Large pulsed magnetic fields up to 60 Tesla are used to suppress the contribution of superconducting fluctuations (SCF) to the ab-plane conductivity above Tc in a series of YBa2Cu3O6+x single crystals. The fluctuation conductivity is found to vanish nearly exponentially with temperature, allowing us to determine precisely the field Hc(T) and the temperature Tc above which the SCFs are fully suppressed. Tc is always found much smaller than the pseudogap temperature. A careful investigation near optimal doping shows that Tc is higher than the pseudogap T*, which indicates that the pseudogap cannot be assigned to preformed pairs. For nearly optimally doped samples, the fluctuation conductivity can be accounted for by gaussian fluctuations following the Ginzburg-Landau scheme. A phase fluctuation contribution might be invoked for the most underdoped samples in a T range which increases when controlled disorder is introduced by electron irradiation. Quantitative analysis of the fluctuating magnetoconductance allows us to determine the critical field Hc2(0) which is found to be quite similar to Hc(0) and to increase with hole doping. Studies of the incidence of disorder on both Tc and T* enable us to propose a three dimensional phase diagram including a disorder axis, which allows to explain most observations done in other cuprate families.
We report results of experimental studies of ac susceptibility of Nb single crystal at low frequencies in swept magnetic fields applied parallel to the surface. Analysis of the experimental data shows that the swept magnetic field significantly chang es the vortex conductivity in the bulk. It becomes dissipative with unexpected large frequency dispersion. At the surface, one observes a layer with enhanced conductivity in comparison to the bulk. This layer provides a considerably large contribution to the shielding and absorption of an ac field even in dc fields below $H_{c2}$. We have also demonstrated that the swept magnetic field apparently affects an ac response of the surface superconducting states.
We demonstrate the integration of a mesoscopic ferromagnetic needle with a cavity optomechanical torsional resonator, and its use for quantitative determination of the needles magnetic properties, as well as amplification and cooling of the resonator motion. With this system we measure torques as small as 32 zNm, corresponding to sensing an external magnetic field of 0.12 A/m (150 nT). Furthermore, we are able to extract the magnetization (1710 kA/m) of the magnetic sample, not known a priori, demonstrating this systems potential for studies of nanomagnetism. Finally, we show that we can magnetically drive the torsional resonator into regenerative oscillations, and dampen its mechanical mode temperature from room temperature to 11.6 K, without sacrificing torque sensitivity.
We report measurements of the temperature dependent components of the magnetic penetration depth {lambda}(T) in single crystal samples of YBa_2Cu_4O_8 using a radio frequency tunnel diode oscillator technique. We observe a downturn in {lambda}(T) at low temperatures for currents flowing along the b and c axes but not along the a axis. The downturn in {lambda}_b is suppressed by a small dc field of ~0.25 T. This and the zero field anisotropy of {lambda}(T) likely result from proximity induced superconducting on the CuO chains, however we also discuss the possibility that a significant part of the anisotropy might originate from the CuO2 planes.
