We have studied quantization and confinement effects in nanostructured superconductors.
Three different types of nanostructured samples were investigated: individual structures
(line, loop, dot), 1-dimensional (1D) clusters of loops and 2D clusters of antidots, and finally
large lattices of antidots. Hereby, a crossover from individual elementary “plaquettes”, via
clusters, to huge arrays of these elements, is realized. The main idea of our study was to
vary the boundary conditions for confinement of the superconducting condensate by taking …
