Abstract
We report the observation of superconducting vortices in pure and lightly Al doped MgB2 single crystals. Low field experiments allow for the estimation of the London penetration depth, lambda ~ 1900 Å for T6 K. Experiments in higher fields (e.g. 200 Oe) clearly show a triangular vortex lattice in both real space (13 μm by 13 μm Bitter decoration image of over 1000 vortices) and reciprocal space.
