Ae. Filippov et al., KINETICS OF PHASE-TRANSITION TO SUPERCOND UCTIVITY - VORTICES ARE LONG WAY TO EQUILIBRIUM, Fizika nizkih temperatur, 20(10), 1994, pp. 1017-1021
Kinetics of the fluctuation-induced eddy pairs has been studied in a s
uperconductor when going from the para-phase to the ordered state. Wit
hin the limits of numerous experiments, it is shown that such pairs ar
e persistently produced by typical configurations of the two-component
order parameter when it interacts with a calibration electromagnetic
field. The role of these perturbations in the initiation of the first-
kind superconducting transition is discussed.
