Numerical constants for isolated vortices in superconductors

Description

For isolated vortex lines in high-κ, type-II superconductors, Abrikosov derived the expressions B(0)=κ2(lnκ+C0)Hc2 and Hc1=12κ2(lnκ+C1)Hc2, but the numerical values he provided for the constants C₀ and C₁ were previously found to violate an identity C1C012=Cγ>0. The constants are reevaluated, giving C₀=-0.282, C₁=0.497, Cγ=0.279. Furthermore, for superconductors containing a high concentration of magnetic impurities, it was previously shown that the electric field generated at the center of an isolated vortex in flux-flow situations is proportional to Hc2 and the flux-flow velocity v. The proportionality constant CE in the high-κ limit is numerically evaluated here to be 0.951, which, together with the value for Cγ, determines the flux-flow resistivity ρf=0.381ρnBHc2 in the low-applied-field limit when vortices are very far apart.
