Bernoulli potential in type-I and weak type-II supercoductors: II. Surface dipole

Superconductivity 2009-11-10 v2 Materials Science

Abstract

The Budd-Vannimenus theorem is modified to apply to superconductors in the Meissner state. The obtained identity links the surface value of the electrostatic potential to the density of free energy at the surface which allows one to evaluate the electrostatic potential observed via the capacitive pickup without the explicit solution of the charge profile.
