Abstract

Magnetization curves for a thin-layered superconducting film in parallel magnetic field have been shown to become devil’s staircases provided the superconducting layers are perpendicular to the film plane. The transition from an incomplete to a complete devil’s staircase with decreasing temperature is predicted. A chain of vortices is described by the generalized Frenkel-Kontorova model.
