Superheating fields of superconductors: Asymptotic analysis and numerical results
The superheated Meissner state in type-I superconductors is studied both analytically and numerically within the framework of Ginzburg-Landau theory. Using the method of matched asymptotic expansions we have developed a systematic expansion for the solutions of the Ginzburg-Landau equations in the limit of small \ensuremath{\kappa}, and have determined the maximum …
