Magnetic field and phase transition in thin film superconductors. (English) Zbl 0115.45703

For the review see the text link.
Abstract: It is found, on the basis of calculations extended from the bulk-superconductor case, that for thin-film superconductors: the superconducting-normal phase transition induced by a magnetic field is second-order at all temperatures; a simple scaling rule exists concerning the field and temperature dependence of the energy gap; and the critical field depends on the thickness and temperature according to a certain formula for thicknesses above about \(0.5~\times~10^{-6}\) cm.
