Effect of surface free energy on critical field Hc3

  • 1. Russian Academy of Sciences, Kapitza Institute of Physical Problems (Russian Federation)

Description

The emergence of surface superconductivity in a type I superconductor is considered taking into account the surface free energy of the superconducting phase. It is shown that the disregard of the surface energy leads to a substantial error in determining the Ginzburg-Landau parameter from the measurements of the Hc3 field.
