Extract

Recently out-of-focus, low angle electron diffraction and Foucault experiments have been carried out on superconducting specimens in a range of applied magnetic fields where the fluxons form a more or less regular lattice. Let us recall that in order to describe the effect on the electron beam in a transmission experiment of a fluxon in a tilted specimen, the fluxon itself has been approximated by a suitable bundle of straight flux tubes, relying on the important result that the phase shift of the flux tube can be calculated analytically even in the tilted specimen geometry. In this way, it is only necessary to convolute this phase shift with the chosen projected magnetic field distribution (in our case a London model with a phenomenological penetration depth of 50 nm) in order to obtain a fairly realistic model. Therefore, in order to interpret the main features of the experimental results,
