Abstract

Pair-tunneling measurements have been carried out on ErRh4B4-LuxOy-In thin-film junctions. The Fraunhofer-like pattern of the magnetic-field dependence of the dc Josephson current has been found to split at a temperature just above the reentrant transition of ErRh4B4. This suggests the onset of a magnetic structure of semimacroscopic scale which does not break up the superconductivity of the ErRh4B4 electrode into disconnected domains, at least within the surface region probed (∼ 150).
