Title: Changing the type of superconductivity by magnetic and potential scattering

Abstract

In this study, by evaluating the upper and thermodynamic critical fields H_c2 and H_c and their ratio H_c2/H_c at arbitrary temperatures, we argue that situations are possible when a type-II material is transformed into type I by adding magnetic impurities.

Critical fields of superconductors with magnetic impurities

Journal Article Kogan, V. G. ; Prozorov, R. - Physical Review. B

The upper critical field H_c2, the field H_c3 for nucleation of the surface superconductivity, and the thermodynamic field H_c are evaluated within the weak-coupling theory for the isotropic s-wave case with arbitrary transport, and pair-breaking scattering. In this study, we find that, for the standard geometry of a half-space sample in a magnetic field parallel to the surface, the ratiomore »« less

Anisotropic criteria for the type of superconductivity

Journal Article Kogan, Vladimir G ; Prozorov, Ruslan - Physical Review. B, Condensed Matter and Materials Physics

The classical criterion for classification of superconductors as type I or type II based on the isotropic Ginzburg-Landau theory is generalized to arbitrary temperatures for materials with anisotropic Fermi surfaces and order parameters. We argue that the relevant quantity for this classification is the ratio of the upper and thermodynamic critical fields Hc2/Hc, rather than the traditional ratio of the penetration depth and the coherence length λ/ξ. Even in the isotropic case, Hc2/Hc coincides with 2√λ/ξ only at the critical temperature Tc and they differ as T decreases, the long-known fact. Anisotropies of Fermi surfaces and order parameters may amplifymore »« less

Journal Article Kozhevnikov, V. ; Valente-Feliciano, A. -M. ; Curran, P. J. ; ... - Physical Review B

The standard interpretation of the phase diagram of type-II superconductors was developed in the 1960s and has since been considered a well-established part of classical superconductivity. However, upon closer examination a number of fundamental issues arises that leads one to question this standard picture. To address these issues we studied equilibrium properties of niobium samples near and above the upper critical field H_c2 in parallel and perpendicular magnetic fields. The samples investigated were very high quality films and single-crystal disks with the Ginzburg-Landau parameters 0.8 and 1.3, respectively. A range of complementary measurements has been performed, which include dc magnetometry,more »« less

Theory of flux cutting and flux transport at the critical current of a type-II superconducting cylindrical wire

Journal Article Clem, John R - Physical Review. B, Condensed Matter and Materials Physics

I introduce a critical-state theory incorporating both flux cutting and flux transport to calculate the magnetic-field and current-density distributions inside a type-II superconducting cylinder at its critical current in a longitudinal applied magnetic field. The theory is an extension of the elliptic critical-state model introduced by Romero-Salazar and Pérez-Rodríguez. The vortex dynamics depend in detail on two nonlinear effective resistivities for flux cutting (ρ{sub ∥}) and flux flow (ρ{sub ⊥}), and their ratio r=ρ{sub ∥}/ρ{sub ⊥}. When r<1, the low relative efficiency of flux cutting in reducing the magnitude of the internal magnetic-flux density leads to a paramagnetic longitudinal magneticmore »« less
