Abstract
We report the results of an investigation of the effects of a pure superconductor on external gravitomagnetic and magnetic fields and , respectively. We find that the internal fields are given by , , where and are the gravitomagnetic and magnetic permeabilities of the superconductor. These results show that a small residual uniform magnetic field will pervade the superconductor and that the external fields mutually "induce" additional small internal perturbation fields. The sum of the fields falls exponentially to zero over a characteristic distance , which is consistent with previous findings that inside a pure superconductor.
