On the Effect of Boundary Conditions in the Ginzburg–Landau Theory on the Results of Calculations of the Critical State of Layered Structures

Аннотация

The effect of boundary conditions in the Ginzburg–Landau theory on the critical state of superconducting layered structures is studied. The method is based on the numerical solution of the Ginzburg–Landau nonlinear equations describing the behavior of a superconducting plate carrying a transport current in a magnetic field, provided the absence of vortices in it. The use of the general boundary condition for the Ginzburg–Landau system of equations leads to a change in the order parameter over the thickness of thin superconducting plates. The calculated dependences of the critical current of plates on the magnetic field applied in parallel to layers are used to determine the critical current of multilayered structures. It is assumed that the mutual influence of superconducting layers occurs only through the magnetic field induced by them.
