DIRECT EVIDENCE OF PERSISTENT CURRENT LOOPS IN HARD SUPERCONDUCTING WIRE

Abstract
Measurements of the field near the surface of a Nb-25% Zr superconducting wire magnetized by a static transverse field have revealed spatially-periodic variations in local field strength indicative of persistent current loops (``macrovortices'') about six wire diameters in size.
