Ginzburg-Landau theory for superconductors
Open accessAbstract
In this review the author describes how the simple Ginzburg-Landau approach lies in the heart of the general theory of superconductors. The reader is introduced to the handling of the theory and to the numerous possibilities of applications. A general free energy functional for a superconductor is given and the different cases where it can be reduced to a Ginzburg-Landau form or to a simple generalization of this form is studied. It is emphasized that applications are not restricted to thermo-dynamical ones as the Ginzburg-Landau approach can be used in the calculation of dissipative phenomena. The possibility of an extension to the time-dependent phenomena is discussed in detail to present the difficult problems which arise in that case. The gapless regime of type II superconductors is given as an example.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
