Transport currents in inhomogeneous type II superconductors
Abstract
The fundamental properties of the vortex lattice in type II superconductors, the interaction between the flux lines and different types of crystal lattice defects, the principles of experimental determinations of the volume pinning force or the critical current density are given in the present paper. Finally, some topical problems connected with the investigation of critical currents in type II superconductors are briefly outlined.
