A graded distribution of antidots in superconducting a-Mo 79Ge21 thin films has been investigated by magnetization and magneto-optical imaging measurements. The pinning landscape has maximum density at the sample border, decreasing linearly towards the center. Its overall performance is noticeably superior than that for a sample with uniformly distributed antidots: For high temperatures and low fields, the critical current is enhanced, whereas the region of thermomagnetic instabilities in the field-temperature diagram is significantly suppressed. These findings confirm the relevance of graded landscapes on the enhancement of pinning efficiency, as recently predicted by Misko and Nori [Phys. Rev. B 85, 184506 …

If P is a partially ordered set and R is a commutative ring, then a certain differential graded /f-algebra A,(P) is defined from the order relation on P. The algebra A.(Vi) corresponding to the empty poset is always contained in A.(P) so that A,(P) can be regarded as an /4.(0)-algebra. The main result of this paper shows that if R is an integral domain and P and P' are finite posets such that A.(P) = A.(P') as differential graded /4,(0)-algebras, then P and P' are isomorphic. 1991 Mathematics subject classification (Amer.
