Digital Library of Periodicals of National Academy of Sciences of Ukraine| Summary: | The most 

important practical characteristic of a superconductor is its critical current density. 

This article traces the history, both of the experimental discoveries and of the 

development of the theoretical ideas that have lead to the understanding of those factors 

that control critical current densities. These include Silsbee`s hypothesis, the Meissner 

effect, London, Ginsburg-Landau and Abrikosov theories, flux pinning and the critical 

state, and the control of texture in high temperature superconductors.
