Scanning Hall probe microscopy with an effective spatial resolution of similar to 1 mu m has been used to investigate the vortex structures in superconducting Bi2Sr2CaCu2O8+delta single crystals in the temperature range 77.3-81.3 K and zero applied field (in the presence of the earth field). The vortex images were obtained in real time mode as the temperature increased slowly for 3.36 h. At 77.3 K, the vortices were arranged in a chain structure. With the increase of the temperature, two jumps in the vortex array occur at 77.3 K, immediately when the temperature starts to rise, and at 79.2 K with a good stability between jumps. The second jump is accompanied by the jump in the average magnetic induction when bundles of 4-5 additional vortices enter the scanning area and the vortex array get disordered. These directly visualized transitions in the vortex lattice are consistent with a vortex creep over the surface barriers at high temperatures. A short movie is presented.

Vortex phases in magnetic fields near ab-plane in Bi2Sr2CaCu2O8+delta single crystal Mirkovic, Jovan; Saito, Takashi; Kashiwagi, Takanari; Kakeya, Itsuhiro; Kubo, Yuimaru; Yamamoto, Takashi; Oral, Ahmet; Kadowaki, Kazuo (2010-12-01) Vortex matter of the layered superconductors in very high magnetic fields near the ab-plane was studied by using the c-axis resistivity measurements on the mesoscopic Bi2Sr2CaCu2O8+delta single crystals. While the angular dependence of resistance exhibits the sharp lock-in features in low magnetic field region, it was found that the vortex lock-in transition becomes considerably broad in high magnetic fields, showing anomalous shoulders at 0.3 degrees away from the ab-plane. The appearance of the resistance...
Scanning Hall Probe Microscopy (SHPM) using quartz crystal AFM feedback Dede, M.; Uerkmen, K.; Girisen, Oe.; Atabak, M.; Oral, Ahmet; Farrer, I.; Ritchie, D. (American Scientific Publishers, 2008-02-01) Scanning Hall Probe Microscopy (SHPM) is a quantitative and non-invasive technique for imaging localized surface magnetic field fluctuations such as ferromagnetic domains with high spatial and magnetic field resolution of similar to 50 nm and 7 mG/Hz(1/2) at room temperature. In the SHPM technique, scanning tunneling microscope (STM) or atomic force microscope (AFM) feedback is used to keep the Hall sensor in close proximity of the sample surface. However, STM tracking SHPM requires conductive samples; ther...
Scanning Hall probe microscopy of superconductors and magnetic materials Oral, Ahmet; Henini, M (1996-03-01) We describe results from a scanning Hall probe microscope operating in a broad temperature range, 4-300 K. A submicron Hall probe manufactured in a GaAs/AlGaAs two-dimensional electron gas is scanned over the sample to measure the surface magnetic fields using conventional scanning tunneling microscopy positioning techniques, The magnetic field structure of the sample together with the topography can be obtained simultaneously, The technique is noninvasive with an extremely low self-field of < 10(-2) G and ...
RT-SHPM imaging of permalloy microstructures and garnet films using new high performance InSb sensors Kaval, M.; Oral, Ahmet; Dede, M.; Sandhu, A. (2002-01-01) Scanning Hall probe microscopy (SHPM) is a quantitative and noninvasive technique to image magnetic samples with high spatial and magnetic field resolution: ∼120 nm & 6×10-6T/√(Hz) at room temperature. A sub-micron Hall probe is scanned over the sample surface to measure the surface magnetic fields using conventional scanning tunneling microscopy-positioning techniques. We have developed new low noise, high performance InSb Hall sensors for room temperature scanning Hall probe microscopy (RT-SHPM), which ha...
Variable temperature Scanning Hall Probe Microscopy (SHPM) using quartz crystal AFM feedback Dede, M.; Urkmen, K.; Oral, Ahmet; Farrer, I.; Ritchie, D.A. (2006-12-01) Scanning Hall Probe Microscopy (SHPM)[1] is a quantitative and non-invasive technique for imaging localized surface magnetic field fluctuations such as ferromagnetic domains with high spatial and magnetic field resolution of ∼50nm [2] and 7mG/√Hz at room temperature. In the SHPM technique, Scanning Tunneling Microscope (STM) [1] or Atomic Force Microscope (AFM)[3] feedback is used to keep the Hall sensor in close proximity of the sample. However, STM tracking SHPM requires conductive samples; therefore the ...
