Vortex Matter in Mesoscopic Superconducting Disks and Rings

Mesoscale and Nanoscale Physics 2009-10-31 v1 Superconductivity

Abstract

Phase transitions between different (i.e. giant and multi-vortex) superconducting states and between the superconducting-normal state of mesoscopic disks and rings are studied in the presence of an external magnetic field by solving the two non-linear Ginzburg-Landau equations self-consistently. The flux through a circular disk with a hole in the middle is not quantized.
