Abstract

Commensurability effects between the superconducting flux line lattice and a square lattice (period d=1 μm and diameter D=0.4 μm) of submicron holes in 1500 A vanadium films were studied by atomic force microscopy, DC magnetization, AC susceptibility, magnetoresistivity and I-V measurements. Peaks in the magnetization and critical current at matching fields are found to depend nonlinearly upon the value of external AC field or current, as well as the inferred symmetry of the flux line lattice.
