With the high-temperature superconductors a qualitatively new regime in the
phenomenology of type-II superconductivity can be accessed. The key elements governing …

Magnetic flux can penetrate a type-II superconductor in the form of Abrikosov vortices (also
called flux lines, flux tubes, or fluxons) each carrying a quantum of magnetic flux phi 0= h/2e …

The magnetic moment, flux and current penetration, and creep in type-II superconductors of
nonzero thickness in a perpendicular applied magnetic field are calculated. The presented …

In the past few years magneto-optical flux imaging (MOI) has come to take an increasing role
in the investigation and understanding of critical current densities in high-T c …

The current density in type-II superconductor circular disks of arbitrary thickness, or cylinders
of finite length, in an axial magnetic field is calculated from first principles by treating the …

Magneto-optical investigations of the flux distributions in high-T c superconductors are
reviewed. The various techniques (which are all based on the Faraday effect) are compared …

Investigations of the magnetic properties of high temperature superconductors (HTSs) have
revealed the existence of striking new vortex phenomena due, in part, to their strong …

First some consequences of the Bean assumption of constant critical current J c in type-II
superconductors are listed and the Bean ac susceptibility of narrow rings is derived. Then …

The electric field E induced in type-II superconductors during the penetration of magnetic
flux exhibits a strange profile when the sample has the usual square or rectangular cross …

The magnetization of ideal type-II superconductors without vortex pinning is derived from
first principles for superconductors with constant thickness. This magnetization is irreversible …
