Exact Solution for the Critical State in Thin Superconductor Strips with Field Dependent or Anisotropic Pinning

Superconductivity 2009-10-31 v1

Abstract

An exact analytical solution is given for the critical state problem in long thin superconductor strips in a perpendicular magnetic field, when the critical current density j_c(B) depends on the local induction B according to a simple three-parameter model. This model describes both isotropic superconductors with this j_c(B) dependence, but also superconductors with anisotropic pinning described by a dependence j_c(theta) where theta is the tilt angle of the flux lines away from the normal to the specimen plane.
