Abstract

We describe how the ferromagnetic spin echo technique may be used to make a direct and microscopic measurement of the motion of flux lines in a superconductor under the influence of an applied current. Our experimental results agree well with theory and indicate that both the value and distribution of velocities of flux lines may be measured.
