Abstract

We report robust vortex matching effects in antidot arrays fabricated on thin films of NbN. The near absence of hysteresis between field sweep directions indicates a negligible residual pinning in the host thin films. Owing to the very small coherence length of NbN thin films (ξ< 5 nm), the observations suggest the possibility of probing physics of vortices at true nanometer length scales in suitably fabricated structures.
