Discrepancies in Determinations of the Ginzburg-Landau Parameter

Superconductivity 2009-11-13 v1

Abstract

Long-standing discrepancies within determinations of the Ginzburg-Landau parameter κ\kappa from supercritical field measurements on superconducting microspheres are reexamined. The discrepancy in tin is shown to result from differing methods of analyses, whereas the discrepancy in indium is a consequence of significantly differing experimental results. The reanalyses however confirms the lower κ\kappa determinations to within experimental uncertainties.
