In this paper the magnetic field at which the normal state of a superconducting twinning plane becomes absolutely unstable is calculated, taking into account the most general type of boundary conditions for the order parameter at the twinning plane. Various types of localization of the superconductivity at the twinning plane are considered. The experimental phase diagram is discussed for superconductivity in tin. A mechanism is proposed that leads to the appearance of a nonuniform state in the twinning plane, which is responsible for delaying the transition to bulk superconductivity. 12 refs., 3 figs.
