Optical Detection of Domain Structure and Current Flow in Superconducting Lead Films

Abstract
This report presents a survey of domain structures observed on some lead films under various conditions of applied magnetic field, made visible using the magneto‐optic technique. Fields due to a current are also observed. The static appearance and the dynamic behavior of the patterns are similar to the appearance and the behavior observed earlier in bulk samples of ``hard'' superconductors.
