Detecting magnetic flux distributions in superconductors with magnetic scanning x-ray microscopy — •Claudia Stahl1, Stephen Ruoß1, Patrick Audehm1, Markus Weigand1, Gisela Schütz1, and Joachim Albrecht21Max Planck Institut für Intelligente Systeme, Heisenbergstr. 3, 70569 Stuttgart — 2Forschungsinstitut für Innovative Oberflächen, Hoschschule Aalen, Beethovenst. 1, 73430 Aalen

The magnetic flux distribution arising from a high-Tc superconductor is detected and visualized using polarized x rays. Therefore, we introduce a sensor layer, namely, an amorphous, soft-magnetic Co40Fe40B20 cover layer, providing a large x-ray magnetic circular dichroism (XMCD). CoFeB is directly deposited on top of high-Tc superconducting YBCO structures [1]. The magnetic stray fields of the supercurrents lead to a local reorientation of the magnetic moments in the ferromagnet. Using polarized x-rays it is possible to measure the local magnetization via the XMCD effect.

We show that the XMCD contrast in the sensor layer corresponds to the in-plane magnetic flux distribution of the superconductor [2] and can hence be used to image magnetic structures in superconductors with high spatial resolution.

The measurements are carried out at our scanning x-ray microscope MAXYMUS and our own dedicated reflectometry endstation at Bessy II at HZB in Berlin.
