Summary

In this article, the authors report observations of the paramagnetic Meissner effect with a resolution better than one quantum of magnetic flux. They conclude that the paramagnetic Meissner effect is related to the surface superconductivity and, therefore, represents a general property of superconductors: on decreasing temperature, the flux captured at the third (surface) critical field inside the superconducting sheath compresses into a smaller volume, allowing extra flux to penetrate at the surface.
