Critical currents of superconducting microbridges

Journal Article · · Phys. Rev., B; (United States)

A study of the superconducting critical currents in long microbridges cut from 0.1 ..mu..m thick tin films, reveals agreement with simple Ginzberg-Landau theory only for the narrowest bridges (0.3 ..mu..m) a theory of the effects resulting from the non-uniform current distribution in wider bridges is developed which satisfactorily explains the phenomena observed there.
