DYNAMICAL PROCESSES IN CURRENT-CARRYING SUPERCONDUCTORS. Article uri icon

abstract

  • Properties of thin superconducting filaments carrying a dc electric current are considered. The usual superconducting state becomes impossible when the current exceeds the so-called Ginzburg-Landau critical current. Instead, either normal or the so-called resistive state appear in the superconductor. In the resistive state, the mean electric field is nonzero, but superconductivity is destroyed only in some separate points in the filament.
