摘要
InAs-AlSb quantum wells contacted with periodic gratings of superconducting Nh electrodes show Josephson-junction characteristics at low temperatures. When a nonzero resistance is reestablished by a weak magnetic field, the resistance shows a strong component periodic in the magnetic field. At fields above similar to 300 mu T, the oscillation period corresponds to one flux quantum per grating cell; but in wide arrays (greater than or equal to 40 mu m), a frequency doubling takes place at low fields, indicating the formation of a staggered vortex superlattice at twice the littographic period.
