Nucleation and Growth of Normal Phase in Thin Superconducting Strips

supr-con 2009-10-28 v1 Superconductivity

Abstract

We investigate the kinetics of normal phase nucleation and flux line condensation in the type-II superconductors by numerical study of the time-dependent Ginzburg-Landau equation. We have shown that under the sufficient transport current the normal phase nucleates in the superconducting strips in a form of the macroscopic droplets having the multiple topological charge. We discuss the stability and the dynamics of the droplets. We found that pinning suppresses the droplet formation.
