Abstract
The superconducting properties of a two-dimensional superconducting wire network with a new geometry have been measured as a function of the external magnetic field. The extreme localization effect recently predicted for this periodic lattice is revealed as a suppression of the critical current when the applied magnetic field corresponds to half a flux quantum per unit cell. For this particular magnetic field, the observed vortex state configuration is highly disordered.
