Theory of dissipative current-carrying states in superconducting filaments

Journal Article · · Phys. Rev. Lett.; (United States)
A simple generalized time-dependent Ginzburg-Landau equation valid for dirty superconductors in the vicinity of T/sub c/ is derived. For thin homogeneous filaments it exhibits oscillatory phase-slip solutions below and above the critical depairing current. The results are compared with I-V curves observed in whiskers and microbridges.
