Title: An Equation For The LimitState Of A Superconductor With Pinning Sites
Speaker: Jianzhong Sun
Abstract:
We investigate the limit case for a Ginzburg-Landau system describing
an inhomogeneous superconducting material in a bounded
domain, and show that in the limit case, the system can be described by
one equation, from the analysis of such equation, we prove the local
minimizers of the limit case and solutions of the equation are one to
one in certain sense.
Structures and properties of the solutions will also be discussed. At the beginning, a brief history of the
superconductivity and the background of the problems will be given,
which is accessible to students who have finished their Calculus
courses.
