The intermediate state of superconductors III. Theory of behaviour of superconducting cylinders in transverse magnetic fields

Source abstract

Abstract The magnetic behaviour of cylindrical superconductors in transverse magnetic fields is developed for Landau’s branching laminar model of the' intermediate state, and for a branching thread model. The main features of the magnetization and resistance curves presented in parts I and II receive qualitative explanation, and expressions are derived for quantitative comparison of experiment with theory.
