Magnetic flux quantization is one of the defining properties of a superconductor. We report the observation of half-integer magnetic flux quantization in mesoscopic rings of superconducting β-Bi2Pd thin films. The half-quantum fluxoid manifests itself as a π phase shift in the quantum oscillation of the superconducting critical temperature. This result verifies unconventional superconductivity of β-Bi2Pd and is consistent with a spin-triplet pairing symmetry. Our findings may have implications for flux quantum bits in the context of quantum computing.

Based on Ginzburg–Landau (GL) theory, we study the electromagnetic properties of two-band superconducting ring with a microbridge structure. The phase difference of two-order parameters in two-band superconductors satisfies the sine-Gordon equation, and from its soliton solution, the linear relation between the phase difference at both ends of the junction and total magnetic flux in the ring can be obtained. Then with the Josephson current-phase relation in the two-band superconducting microbridge, we establish the dependence of the circulating current and total magnetic flux on the applied external magnetic field. Our analysis shows that the soliton solution and the fractional flux quantization in two-band superconductors can be verified by measuring the properties of this single-junction structure.
