Abstract
We report the annealing of a strained flux line lattice (FLL) in 10 µm diameter type-II superconducting
NbTi filaments by an rf magnetic field at 4.2 K in a magnetic field of 1 T. The strained FLL is prepared by slowly
changing the direction of the applied magnetic field. When the rf magnetic field used to generate a 93Nb NMR spin
echo anneals the FLL, there is a corresponding reduction in the amplitude of the spin echo. Starting from an
annealed condition, a rotation threshold of 3 mr is needed to produce enough FLL strain to be observed in these
measurements.
