DISLOCATIONS IN SUPERCONDUCTORS

Journal Article · · Phys. Rev. Letters
A simple mechanism for dislocation effects in superconductors that provides estimates of their magnitudes is proposed. Pinning by dislocations is estimated for two limiting mixed-state forms, flux vortices or fluxoids, and superconducting filaments. A macroscopic model in which the superconducting state is locally stabilized by the nonuniform stress field of a dislocation provides the pinning mechanism. The relevant second-order stress effects are primarily changes in ground-state on cohesive energy. (C.E.S.)
