We study the Ginzburg-Landau model of superconductivity in three dimensions and for strong external magnetic fields. For magnetic field strengths above the phenomenologically defined second critical field it is known from Physics that…
We study the Ginzburg-Landau functional describing an extreme type-II superconductor wire with cross section with finitely many corners at the boundary. We derive the ground state energy asymptotics up to $ o(1) $ errors in the surface…
Superconductivity in the presence of a step magnetic field has been recently the focus of many works. This contribution examines the behavior of a two-dimensional superconducting domain, when superconductivity is lost in the whole domain…
We compute the $L^2$-norm of the minimizer of the Ginzburg-Landau functional in a planar domain with a finite number of corners. Our computations are valid for a uniform applied magnetic field, large Ginzburg-Landau parameter and in the…
We consider the Ginzburg-Landau functional, defined on a two-dimensional simply connected domain with smooth boundary, in the situation when the applied magnetic field is piecewise constant with a jump discontinuity along a smooth curve. In…
We review some recent results on the phenomenon of surface superconductivity in the framework of Ginzburg-Landau theory for extreme type-II materials. In particular, we focus on the response of the superconductor to a strong longitudinal…
We study the three dimensional Ginzburg-Landau model of superconductivity. Several `natural' definitions of the (third) critical field, $H_{C_3}$, governing the transition from the superconducting state to the normal state, are considered.…
Basing on self-consistent solution of non-linear GL-equations, the phase boundary is found, which divides the regions of I- and II-order phase transitions of a superconducting cylinder in magnetic field to normal state. This boundary is a…
We consider an extreme type-II superconducting wire with non-smooth cross section, i.e., with one or more corners at the boundary, in the framework of the Ginzburg-Landau theory. We prove the existence of an interval of values of the…
Superconductivity for Type II superconductors in external magnetic fields of magnitude between the second and third critical fields is known to be restricted to a narrow boundary region. The profile of the superconducting order parameter in…
It is a well known fact that the geometry of a superconducting sample influences the distribution of the surface superconductivity for strong applied magnetic fields. For instance, the presence of corners induces geometric terms described…
We consider the Ginzburg-Landau functional defined over a bounded and smooth three dimensional domain. Supposing that the magnetic field is comparable with the second critical field and that the Ginzburg-Landau parameter is large, we…
In the framework of the Ginzburg-Landau equation, the temperature dependence of the upper critical field of small ring-like superconductors is studied. At equilibrium small parts of the phase diagram show paramagnetism for width / radius…
A new description is proposed for the low-field critical behavior of type-II superconductors. The starting point is the Ginzburg-Landau theory in presence of an external magnetic field H. A set of fictitious vortex variables and a singular…
The superconducting state of an infinitely long superconducting cylinder surrounded by a medium which enhances its superconductivity near the boundary is studied within the nonlinear Ginzburg-Landau theory. This enhancement can be due to…
Several field theoretical approaches to the superconducting phase transition are discussed. Emphasis is given to theories of scaling and renormalization group in the context of the Ginzburg-Landau theory and its variants. Also discussed is…
Using recent results by the authors on the spectral asymptotics of the Neumann Laplacian with magnetic field, we give precise estimates on the critical field, $H_{C_3}$, describing the appearance of superconductivity in superconductors of…
We present an improved analysis of the phase transitions in rare earth superconductor using Ginzburg-Landau theory. Our work is based on the systematic study of critical field and superconducting order parameter in the presence of localized…
Type-II superconductivity is known to persist close to the sample surface in presence of a strong magnetic field. As a consequence, the ground state energy in the Ginzburg-Landau theory is approximated by an effective one-dimensional model.…
In Ginzburg-Landau theory, a strong magnetic field is responsible for the breakdown of superconductivity. This work is concerned with the identification of the region where superconductivity persists, in a thin shell superconductor modeled…
