Analysis and Convergence of a Covolume Approximation of the Ginzburg–landau Model of Superconductivity∗
نویسندگان
چکیده
In this paper, we present the mathematical analysis of a covolume method for the approximations of the Ginzburg–Landau (GL) model for superconductivity. A nice feature of this approach is that the gauge invariance properties are retained in discrete approximations based on triangular grids. We also use properties of discrete vector fields to study issues such as the gauge choices and their enforcement.

A formal asymptotic expansion is used to simplify the Ginzburg-Landau model of superconductivity in the limit of large values of the Ginzburg-Landau parameter and high applied magnetic field strengths. The convergence of solutions of the full Ginzburg-Landau equations to solutions of the leading order equations in the hierarchy is demonstrated for both boundary value and periodic problems. The ...

متن کاملThe frozen-field approximation and the Ginzburg–Landau equations of superconductivity
The Ginzburg–Landau (GL) equations of superconductivity provide a computational model for the study of magnetic flux vortices in type-II superconductors. In this article we show through numerical examples and rigorous mathematical analysis that the GL model reduces to the frozen-field model when the charge of the Cooper pairs (the superconducting charge carriers) goes to zero while the applied ...
متن کاملExact solutions of the 2D Ginzburg-Landau equation by the first integral method
The first integral method is an efficient method for obtaining exact solutions of some nonlinear partial differential equations. This method can be applied to non integrable equations as well as to integrable ones. In this paper, the first integral method is used to construct exact solutions of the 2D Ginzburg-Landau equation.
