Computational Exploration of Vortex Nucleation in Type II Superconductors Using a Finite Element Method in Ginzburg-Landau Theory
Using a finite element method, we numerically solve the time-dependent Ginzburg-Landau equations of superconductivity to explore vortex nucleation in type II superconductors. We consider a cylindrical geometry and simulate the transition from a superconducting state to a mixed state. Using saddle-no...
