| contents | The dynamics of phase boundaries, such as superconducting/normal (S/N) interfaces in type-I superconductors, are typically obscured in conventional magnetic measurements, which are dominated by surface barriers and over-damped flux processes. Here, we employ ac magnetostriction as a sensitive probe to reveal the distinct bulk dynamics of these domain walls in the intermediate state of lead. In contrast to the Debye-type relaxation observed in magnetic susceptibility, we discover a pronounced quasiresonant response characterized by a sign reversal of the imaginary component and a non-monotonic evolution of the real part with frequency. We attribute this behavior to the collective oscillations of S/N interfaces driven by eddy currents generated within the normal domains. This work uncovers a fundamental dynamical channel in superconducting modulated phases and establishes ac magnetostrictive coefficient as a powerful tool for probing hidden interface physics. |
