부상 자기 변환기를 통한 초전도체 내 개별 자속 와류 동역학 탐구

Trapped vortices determine fundamental properties of superconductors and play an important role in many practical applications such as magnetic levitation, however their complex dynamics remain poorly understood. Here, we use the mechanical motion of micron-scale levitated magnetic particles to probe the dynamics of individual vortices. Specifically, we show that the dynamics of levitated magnets are strongly influenced by vortices trapped in the YBCO superconducting film. We observe random telegraph signals in the mechanical frequency, dissipation rate, and energy of levitated particles, which we attribute to random tunneling of individual vortices. The nonlinearity of vortex-defect interaction manifests as non-exponential decay in ringdown measurements, revealing a complex underlying potential landscape. Our results provide insights into elusive dissipation mechanisms in superconducting levitated systems, open new avenues for using levitated magnets as sensitive probes of static and dynamic properties of individual vortices in superconductors and their interactions with material disorder, and point toward novel routes for using magnetic particles as highly coherent mechanical transducers.
