Abrikosov vortex corrections to effective magnetic field enhancement in epitaxial graphene.

Here, we report the effects of enhanced magnetic fields resulting from type-II superconducting NbTiN slabs adjacent to narrow Hall bar devices fabricated from epitaxial graphene. Observed changes in the magnetoresistances were found to have minimal contributions from device inhomogeneities, magnet hysteresis, electron density variations along the devices, and transient phenomena. We hypothesize that Abrikosov vortices, present in type-II superconductors, contribute to these observations.
