Popis: InAs-AlSb quantum wells contacted with periodic gratings of superconducting Nb electrodes show Josephson-junction characteristics at low temperatures. When a nonzero resistance is reestablished by a weak magnetic field, the resistance shows a strong component periodic in the magnetic field. At fields above \ensuremath{\sim}300 \ensuremath{\mu}T, the oscillation period corresponds to one flux quantum per grating cell; but in wide arrays (\ensuremath{\gtrsim}40 \ensuremath{\mu}m), a frequency doubling takes place at low fields, indicating the formation of a staggered vortex superlattice at twice the lithographic period.
