A type I superconductor expels a magnetic field from its interior to a surface layer of thickness $\lambda_L$, the London penetration depth. $\lambda_L$ is a function of temperature, becoming smaller as the temperature decreases. Here we…
In the Meissner phase of a superconductor, an external constant magnetic field is shielded by circulating persistent zero-resistance supercurrents that are formed by Cooper pairs. However, a thermodynamic change of state within this phase,…
In a process where the temperature of a type I superconductor in a magnetic field changes, the conventional theory of superconductivity predicts that Joule heat is generated and that the final state is independent of the speed of the…
The transition from the superconducting to the normal state in a magnetic field was considered as a irreversible thermodynamic process before 1933 because of Joule heating. But all physicists became to consider this transition as reversible…
This comment is written on the article by Hiroyasu Koizumi, in which an alternative theory of superconductivity is proposed. No Joule heating is predicted in this theory unlike the conventional BCS-London theory of superconductivity. The…
We consider the electrical current through a magnetic point contact in the limit of a strong inelastic scattering of electrons. In this limit local Joule heating of the contact region plays a decisive role in determining the transport…
We study a diffusive superconductor-normal metal-superconductor junction in an environment with intrinsic incoherent fluctuations which couple to the junction through an electromagnetic field. When the temperature of the junction differs…
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…
Current-driven insulator-metal transitions are in many cases driven by Joule heating proportional to the square of the applied current. Recent nano-imaging experiments in Ca$_2$RuO$_4$ reveal a metal-insulator phase boundary that depends on…
The underlying mechanism of unconventional high-temperature superconductivity is a great challenge to condensed matter physics. However, zero dissipation of electric current is the commonness of superconductors whether they are conventional…
Moving vortex lattice in type-II superconductors can result in the radiation of electromagnetic waves in the range of terahertz frequency. The vortex flow dynamics in superconductors follow the London equation. In this paper, the effects of…
We theoretically study the spin-polarized current flowing through a Josephson junction (JJ) in a spin injection device. When the spin-polarized current is injected from a ferromagnet (FM) in a superconductor (SC), the charge current is…
The full MHD problem of the flow and heat transfer due to a linearly stretching sheet in the presence of a transverse magnetic field is put in a self-similar form. Traditionally ignored physical processes such as induced magnetic field,…
We study, both theoretically and experimentally, the features on the current-voltage characteristic of a highly transparent Josephson junction caused by transition of the superconducting leads to the normal state. These features appear due…
The law of entropy increase postulates the existence of irreversible processes in physics: the total entropy of an isolated system can increase but cannot decrease. The annihilation of an electric current in normal metal with the generation…
Considering Joule heating caused by the dissipation of the magnetic field in the neutron star crust to be an efficient mechanism in maintaining a relatively high surface temperature in very old neutron stars, the role of general relativity…
We have studied hybrid superconducting micro-coolers made of a double Superconductor-Insulator-Normal metal tunnel junction. Under subgap conditions, the Andreev current is found to dominate the single-particle tunnel current. We show that…
For a superconductor to be able to receive an external magnetic field, there must be a vacant energy state in the superconductor to receive the energy associated with the field. For a small range of energies near that of the critical…
The velocity field composed of the Berry connection from many-body wave functions and electromagnetic vector potential explains the energy-momentum balance during the reversible superconducting-normal phase transition in the presence of an…
We have investigated theoretically the influence of an AC drive on heat transport in a hybrid normal metal - superconductor tunnel junction in the photon-assisted tunneling regime. We find that the useful heat flux out from the normal metal…
