Resistive states in high-field type-II superconductors

Abstract

Restricting ourselves to high-field region, we calculate the longitudinal electrical current and the transverse heat current in the resistive states of the high-field type-II superconductors (i.e., type-II superconductors with a large Pauli paramagnetism). It is suggested that the measurements of the longitudinal resistivity together with magnetization data allows one to decompose the magnetization into components due to diamagnetic and paramagnetic currents. © 1968 The American Physical Society.
