Abstract

Flux penetration into superconducting tin strips, induced by incrementation of a perpendicular magnetic field, is observed by the detection in real time of flux variations while the field is increased up to Hc. Three different flux penetration regimes are observed, well separated by two limiting fields. The limits of the different flux penetration regimes are determined by the sample geometry. These results allow a reinterpretation of previous magneto-optic observations, providing a simple picture associating the energy barrier against flux penetration into superconducting strips with the presence of entirely diamagnetic bands at the strip borders.
