Critical Nucleation Field at the Structured Surface of a Superconductor

Abstract

The effect of the structured surface of a superconductor on the critical nucleation field is discussed in two cases: one with the magnetic field parallel to the grating wavenumber and the other parallel to the ripples. In the first case, it is found that the critical field is reduced as a function of grating height, whereas in the latter case it is increased. Keywords: Superconductor, Magnetic field, Critical nucleation, Parallel to wavenumber, Parallel to ripples, Effect of grating height.
