Abstract

The magnetoresistance, critical currents, and voltage-current (V−I) characteristics have been studied in superconducting a-WGe films with a square lattice of cylindrical microholes (antidots). Besides a strong enhancement of the critical current caused by matching of the flux lines with the antidot lattice having a period d, two different dissipative regimes have been observed giving rise to a crossover in the [log(V)−log(I)] characteristics for magnetic fields above the first matching field B1=Bφ≡Φ0d−2. This V−I behavior is caused by the coexistence of a weakly pinned interstitial vortex fluid and a strongly pinned vortex lattice at the antidots.
