Superconducting Cylinder

چکیده
The new type of solutions of the London equation for type-II superconductors is obtained to describe the ring-shaped (toroidal) Abrikosov vortices. The specific feature of these solutions is the self-consistent localization of both the supercurrent and the magnetic field, enabling one to construct compact magnetic structures inside a superconductor. The torus vortex contraction caused by the vortex instability leads to the destruction of the Cooper pairing and the formation of a normal electron stream in the vicinity of the torus axis. The thermodynamic condition for the excitation of a small closed vortex by a bunch of charged particles contains the fine-structure constant as a determining parameter.

Three-dimensional calculations of the magnetic fields in a finite superconducting hollow cylinder in an applied axial magnetic field
In this study, a set of self-consistent coupled-integral equations for the local magnetic flux and current distributions in a finite superconducting hollow cylinder under an axial magnetic field has been directly derived by using the Biot-Savart law within the framework of the critical-state model. The equations were first solved numerically in the three-dimensional space before obtaining the h...
متن کاملMagnetic levitation using high temperature superconducting pancake coils as composite bulk cylinders
Stacks of superconducting tape can be used as composite bulk superconductors for both trapped field magnets and for magnetic levitation. Little previous work has been done on quantifying the levitation force behavior between stacks of tape and permanent magnets. This paper reports the axial levitation force properties of superconducting tape wound into pancake coils to act as a composite bulk c...
متن کاملTransformation of Thermal Energy in Electric Energy in an Inhomogeneous Superconducting Ring
An inhomogeneous superconducting ring (hollow cylinder) placed in a magnetic field is considered. It is shown that a direct voltage appears on section with lowest critical temperature when it is switched periodically from the normal state in the superconducting state and backwards, if the magnetic flux contained within the ring is not divisible by the flux quantum. The superconducting transitio...
متن کاملSuperconducting properties of mesoscopic cylinders with enhanced surface superconductivity
The superconducting state of an infinitely long superconducting cylinder surrounded by a medium which enhances its superconductivity near the boundary is studied within the nonlinear Ginzburg-Landau theory. This enhancement can be due to the proximity of another superconductor or due to surface treatment. Quantities such as the free energy, the magnetization and the Cooper-pair density are calc...
متن کاملInduced vortex tunneling in a superconducting wire
We consider induced topological transitions in a wire made from cylindrical superconducting film. During a transition, a pulse of electric current causes transport of a virtual vortex-antivortex pair around the cylinder. By applying a dual formulation, in which vortices are described by a fundamental quantum field, we show that there exists a useful adiabatic limit, when the probability to crea...
متن کاملFluxoid Quantization and Phase Transition in Hollow Superconductors Carrying Transport Current*
Abstract A theory is presented to account for all the experimental observations of fluxoid quantization and phase transition in superconducting cylinders, without invoking the large, unlikely, misalignment between field and cylinder required in previous theory. Correct values are obtained for the ratio of periodic to background quadratic coefficients in the resistance vs. field plot, and for th...
