Onset of vortices in thin superconducting strips and wires
Onset of vortices in thin superconducting strips and wires
Spontaneous nucleation and the consequent penetration of vortices into thin superconducting films and wires, subjected to a magnetic field, can be considered as a nonlinear stage of primary instability of the current-carrying superconducting state. The development of the instability leads to the formation of a chain of vortices in strips …
