Abstract

The magnetic behavior of composites of very fine (less than 1000 Å) niobium wires in copper matrices has been measured at temperatures below 10°K. Three Meissner effects were observed, two of which were apparently due to strong proximity effects in the copper. The temperature dependence of the magnetization curve and measurements of the real and imaginary components of zero-field ac susceptibility agree. The geometry and properties of the composite, which are known in some detail, are used together with current models for proximity effects to develop an adequate explanation of the data.
