Current-induced superconducting - normal transition of zinc whiskers near the critical temperature

  • 1. Goettingen Univ. (Germany, F.R.). 1. Physikalisches Inst.

Description

The characteristics of the current-induced breakdown of superconductivity in Zn whiskers show a voltage step structure. Using the assumption of phase-slip centers for its interpretation, the quasiparticle diffusion length and the time averaged supercurrent above the critical current have been evaluated. (author)
