Flux Pinning in Superconductors

More about the book

Exploring the intricate mechanisms of flux pinning, this book delves into the electromagnetic phenomena related to various superconductors, including metallic and high-Tc types. It introduces key interactions, such as condensation energy and kinetic energy, which contribute to pinning mechanisms. Detailed discussions on summation theories for critical current density, along with insights into irreversible magnetization and AC loss from flux pinning, highlight the underlying processes, including ohmic dissipation in normal cores driven by electric fields.
