Abstract

Direct, high-resolution observations of magnetic structures in evaporated films of the type I superconductors lead, tin, and indium are presented for a range of applied fields. The films are polycrystalline and range in thickness from 200 to 20,000 A. the transition from the intermediate state to the mixed state is observed. The observation of the single-fluxoid vortex mixed state in the thin films with Ginzburg-Landau parameter κ less than\(1/\sqrt 2\) confirms theoretical prediction by Tinkham, Maki, and Lasher. No ordered array of vortices is observed and this is shown to be caused by the effects of the grain boundaries on the magnetic structures.
