Critical field
Superconductivity is characterized both by perfect conductivity (zero resistance) and by the expulsion of magnetic fields (the Meissner effect). Changes in either temperature or magnetic field can cause the phase transition between normal and superconducting states.〔High Temperature Superconductivity, Jeffrey W. Lynn Editor, Springer-Verlag (1990)〕 For a given temperature, the highest magnetic field under which a material remains superconducting is known as the critical field. The highest temperature under which the superconducting state is seen is known as the critical temperature. At that temperature even the smallest external magnetic field will destroy the superconducting state, so the critical field is zero. As temperature decreases, the critical field increases generally to a maximum at absolute zero. For a Type I superconductor the discontinuity in heat capacity seen at the superconducting transition is generally related to the slope of the critical field (H_c) at the critical temperature (T_c):〔Superconductivity of Metals and Alloys, P. G. de Gennes, Addison-Wesley (1989)〕
:C_ - C_ = \left(\frac\right)^2_
There is also a direct relation between the critical field and the critical current - the maximum electric current density that a given superconducting material can carry, before switching into the normal state.〔 According to Ampère's law, the current must induce a magnetic field, but superconductors exclude that field. On a microscopic scale the magnetic field is not quite zero at the edges of any given sample - a penetration depth applies. For a type I superconductor, the current flowing in a straight, infinitely long wire must remain zero within the superconducting material (to be compatible with zero magnetic field), but can then go to non-zero values at the edges of the material on this penetration-depth length-scale, as the magnetic field rises.〔 As long as the induced magnetic field at the edges is less than the critical field, the material remains superconducting, but at higher currents the field becomes too strong and the superconducting state is lost. This limit on current density has important practical implications in applications of superconducting materials - despite zero resistance they cannot carry unlimited quantities of electric power.
The geometry of the superconducting sample complicates practical measurement of the critical field〔 - the critical field is defined for a cylindrical sample with the field parallel to the axis of symmetry. Under other conditions, for example for a spherical sample, there may be a mixed state with partial penetration of the magnetic field (and thus partial normal state) while a portion of the sample remains superconducting.
Type II superconductors allow a different sort of mixed state, where the magnetic field (above the lower critical field H_) is allowed to penetrate along cylindrical "holes" through the material, each of which carries a magnetic flux quantum. Along these flux cylinders the material is essentially in a normal, non-superconducting state, surrounded by superconductor where the magnetic field goes back to zero. The width of each cylinder is on the order of the penetration depth for the material. As the magnetic field increases, the flux cylinders move closer together and eventually at the upper critical field H_, they leave no room for the superconducting state and the zero-conductivity property is lost.
==Upper critical field==
The upper critical field (UCF) is the magnetic field (usually expressed in teslas (T)) which completely suppresses superconductivity in a ''Type II'' superconductor at 0K (absolute zero).
More properly, the UCF is a function of temperature (and pressure) and if these are not specified absolute zero and standard pressure are implied.
Werthamer–Helfand–Hohenberg theory predicts the upper critical field (Hc2) at 0 K from Tc and the slope of Hc2 at Tc.
The UCF (at 0 K) can also be estimated from the coherence length(ξ) using the Ginzburg-Landau expression : Hc2 = 2.07 x 10−15 Tm2/(2 Pi ξ2) 〔Introduction to Solid State Physics, Charles Kittel, John Wiley and Sons, Inc.〕
Articles on superconductivity use Hc2 or Bc2 interchangeably since the materials are often exhibit perfect diamagnetism (with susceptibility, χ = -1, hence giving equal magnitudes for |Hc2| and |Bc2|).
