Abstract

The oscillations of a small magnetic sphere (radius 100 μm) levitated above a superconductor are investigated. Resonance frequencies between 300 Hz and 600 Hz are observed. At low amplitudes (≤1 gmm) the oscillator has Q values of about 106. At larger amplitudes both the resonance frequency and the damping become amplitude dependent. Nonlinear and hysteretic friction is attributed to vortex ...
