Özet

We have used a low noise Scanning Hall Probe Microscope (SHPM) to study vortex structures in superconducting films. The microscope has high magnetic field (similar to 2.9 x 10(-8)T/root Hz at 77 K) and spatial resolution, similar to 0.85 mu m. Magnetic field profiles of single vortices in High T-c YBa2Cu3O7-delta thin films have been successfully measured and the microscopic penetration depth of the superconductor has been extracted as a function of temperature. Flux penetration into the superconductor has been imaged in real time (similar to 8s/frame).
