Fluctuations near superconducting phase transitions
Open accessAbstract
The effects of thermodynamic fluctuations near superconducting phase transitions are reviewed. Above T c , fluctuations towards the superconducting state lead to the appearance of excess conductivity, diamagnetism, specific heat, and tunnelling currents. Below T c , fluctuations towards the normal state lead to the appearance of resistance in thin wires and the breakdown of fluxoid quantization in small rings. These effects are generally small, but they can be measured experimentally, particularly in superconducting samples of reduced dimensionality (on the scale of the Ginzburg-Landau coherence length) such as thin films, whisker crystals, and powders. These phenomena are explained using Ginzburg-Landau theory (the salient features of which are developed concurrently), and the current status of theoretical and experimental studies of these effects is surveyed.

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.
