Onset of Dendritic Flux Avalanches in Superconducting Films
Onset of Dendritic Flux Avalanches in Superconducting Films
We report a detailed comparison of experimental data and theoretical predictions for the dendritic flux instability, believed to be a generic behavior of type-II superconducting films. It is shown that a thermomagnetic model published very recently [Phys. Rev. B 73, 014512 (2006)10.1103/PhysRevB.73.014512] gives an excellent quantitative description of key features …
