We report magnetization measurements of Sr 2 RuO 4-Ru eutectic microplates using micro-dc-SQUIDs. Sr 2 RuO 4 is considered as a chiral p-wave superconductor and hence Sr 2 RuO 4-Ru eutectic becomes in an unstable state with a superconducting phase frustration between a chiral p-wave state of Sr 2 RuO 4 and a s-wave state of Ru. To compensate the frustration, a single quantum vortex is spontaneously formed at the center of the Ru inclusion at sufficiently low temperatures. However, such a spontaneous vortex state has not been experimentally observed yet. In this study, we prepared a micro-dc-SQUID and a Sr 2 RuO 4-Ru eutectic microplate containing a single Ru-inclusion at the center of the microplate. We performed magnetization measurements down below the superconducting transition temperature of the Ru inclusion to investigate the spontaneous Ru-center vortex state.
