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. |
