We study the effect of phase slips in a quasi 1d superconducting channel along which a current flows and report a new phenomenon where an avalanche of phase slips occurs. This limits the critical current in thin films and wires and drives…
A classical model is presented for persistent currents in superconductors. Their existence is argued to be warranted because their decay would violate the second law of thermodynamics. This conclusion is achieved by analyzing comparatively…
