Abstract

In a layered superconductor, the interlayer coupling strength determines the spatial variation of the magnetic fields parallel to the layers. Scanning SQUID microscope images of an edge of a single crystal of the layered organic superconductor show regions of inhomogeneous coupling as well as trapped interlayer Josephson vortices. Quantitative modelling of individual isolated vortices indicates an interlayer penetration depth . Previous bulk measurements that indicated a weaker interlayer coupling may have been dominated by inhomogeneities.
