In realistic situations, a typical scenario for applications of type II superconductors
necessarily includes vortices, usually in the presence of currents. Under these …

Recent theoretical analysis of spatially-nonuniform modes of the thermomagnetic instability
in superconductors [Phys. Rev. B 70, 224502 (2004)] is generalized to the case of a thin film …

We report a mechanism of nonisothermal dendritic flux penetration in superconducting films.
Our numerical and analytical analysis of coupled nonlinear Maxwell and thermal diffusion …

We develop a fast numerical procedure for the analysis of nonlinear and nonlocal
electrodynamics of type-II superconducting films in transverse magnetic fields coupled with …

YBa2Cu3O7–x (YBCO) coated conductors are emerging as an important option for magnets
for energy systems and experimental science. One of the remaining challenges for YBCO …

We numerically investigate the effect of an edge indentation on the threshold field of
thermomagnetic instabilities in superconducting films subjected to a ramping magnetic field …

A very important feature of superconductors is the Meissner and Ochsenfeld effect—
expulsion of weak external magnetic fields, H, from their interior. Therefore, a …

Superconducting films of YBa 2 Cu 3 O 7–δ are shown to become thermomagnetically
unstable when experiencing a time-varying perpendicular magnetic field. Using magneto …

Electrically conducting films in a time-varying transverse applied magnetic field are
considered. Their behavior is strongly influenced by the self-field of the induced currents …

We explore the flux-jump regime in type-II Pb thin films with a periodic array of antidots by
means of magneto-optical measurements. A direct visualization of the magnetic flux …
