Magnetization curves and hysteretic losses in superconducting films with edge barrier

The influence of both bulk and edge pinning on the response of a thin-film superconductor to an oscillating magnetic field is considered. The magnetic-flux-defreezing field and the flux-exit field are defined. The hysteresis and magnetization curves of a sample are constructed for the entire cycle o...

Description
Summary:The influence of both bulk and edge pinning on the response of a thin-film superconductor to an oscillating magnetic field is considered. The magnetic-flux-defreezing field and the flux-exit field are defined. The hysteresis and magnetization curves of a sample are constructed for the entire cycle of the magnetic field. From this, we obtain the dependence of the hysteresis losses on the field amplitude.
