Abstract:
We report the results of longitudinal Hall effect (LHE) study in Bi bicrystals with nano-width superconducting crystallite interfaces (CIs), converted by magnetic field or current in normal state, in order to elucidate the high field (up to 40T) peculiarities of quantum oscillations. At B>2T directed along CIs plane two new harmonics of oscillations as well as a number of quantum Hall quasi-plateaus have been observed. It was found that the detected quasi-plateaus disappeared at magnetic field reversal. This indicates that in bicrystals there are spin – oriented carriers located in spectrum of Landau levels.
