In this article, the second-order transition of a superconducting material from normal to superconding state according to the Ginzburg-Landau theory is rigorously discussed and the existence of a mixed state for all values of flux below the critical value is also proved.
Abstract
The second‐order transition of a superconducting material from normal to superconducting state according to the Ginzburg‐Landau theory is rigorously discussed. The bifurcation of a superconducting state is proved for both the Abrikosov mixed state and the case of a film in a parallel magnetic field when the flux or external field is slightly less than critical. The existence of a mixed state for all values of flux below the critical value is also proved.

Stable Nucleation for the Ginzburg-Landau System with an Applied Magnetic Field

TL;DR: In this paper, the Ginzburg-Landau system with an applied magnetic field was considered and the authors analyzed the behavior of solutions when the domain is a cylinder and the applied field is parallel to the axis.

Onset of superconductivity in decreasing fields

Bloch Electrons in a Uniform Magnetic Field

TL;DR: In this paper, it was shown that a ray group of unitary operators, isomorphic to pure translations, commutes with the Hamiltonian in the case of uniform magnetic fields, and it was used to construct an effective Hamiltonian appropriate to finite magnetic fields in crystals.
