The Critical Current of the Superconductor Having an Array of Hole with de Gennes Boundary Condition

Abstract:

We determine the critical current density of the superconductor having an array of hole exposed under electric current and under a perpendicular magnetic field. It is assumed that the inner holes sides are accounted in the de Gennes boundary condition while outer edge is in contact with vacuum. The critical current calculation was done after solving time dependent Ginzburg-Landau equation and evaluating the electric voltage. The enhancement factor of the critical currents due to the boundary condition is discussed.
