Abstract
We investigated the kinetics of normal phase nucleation and Aux line c ondensation in the type-II superconductors by numerical study of the t ime-dependent Ginzburg-Landau equation. We have shown that under a suf ficient transport current the normal phase nucleates in superconductin g strips in the form of the macroscopic droplets having multiple topol ogical charge. We discussed the stability and dynamics of the droplets . We have found that pinning suppresses the droplet formation.
