| Description | (a) Schematic view of the scanning Hall probe microscopy (SHPM). A scanning tunnelling microscope (STM) tip is assembled together with a Hall cross to make a sensor, which is aligned at a small angle (1–3°) to the sample surface. (b) An optical image of the Hall sensor. A scanning electron microscope (SEM) image of the Hall cross is shown in the inset. The longer (shorter) scale bar corresponds to 20 (1) μm. (c) Schematic representation of the local heating effect by using the STM tip. The area close to the tip is heated up by the tunnelling current while the insulating Ge layer and the superconducting Pb layer are also warmed up due to thermal transfer. Superconductivity is suppressed in a localized region where it is energetically favourable to place vortices. (d) SHPM image of a vortex lattice observed after FC at H=3.74 × 102 A m−1 from above Tc down to T=4.2 K. (e) SHPM image after 5 s of tunnelling at bias voltage of 0.5 V and tunnelling current of 0.5 nA, and then lifting up the tip for Hall probe imaging. A vortex cluster forms at the tip position due to the local quench of the hot spot. |
