| Abstract | We have measured a paramagnetic Meissner effect in Nb-Al2O3-Nb Josephson-junction arrays using a scanning superconducting quantum interference device microscope. The arrays exhibit diamagnetism for some cooling fields and paramagnetism for other cooling fields. The measured mean magnetization is always small, < Phi (tot) - Phi (ext)> < 0.3 |
