Superconductor relaxation -- A must to be integrated into stability calculations
Harald Reiss
A superconductor is stable if it does not quench. Quench is a short-time physics problem. For its deeper understanding of, and how to avoid quench, the physics behind stability has…
From superconductor stability and relaxation to Andreev reflections
Harald Reiss
How exactly can critical temperature be determined from results obtained in resistivity measurements? An unconventional approach using an electrical resistance network is presented…
Relaxation and a non-local, resistivity boundary layer in superconductors
Harald Reiss
Superconductors like other solids cannot relax instantaneously from thermally excited (disturbed) states to thermodynamic equilibrium. In this paper, relaxation of a multi-filament…
A correlation between energy gap, critical current density and relaxation of a superconductor
Harald Reiss
Superconductors like other solids cannot relax instantaneously from excited states to thermodynamic equilibrium. In this paper, relaxation from thermal excitations is investigated,…
An Attempt to Improve Understanding of the Physics behind Superconductor Phase Transitions and Stability
Harald Reiss
Under disturbances, superconductors may experience sudden, most undesirable phase transitions (quench) from superconducting to normal conducting state. Quench may lead to damage or…
