Sj. Ding et al., A VARIATIONAL PROBLEM RELATED TO THE GINZBURG-LANDAU MODEL OF SUPERCONDUCTIVITY WITH NORMAL IMPURITY INCLUSION, SIAM journal on mathematical analysis, 29(1), 1998, pp. 48-68
A variational problem related to the Ginzburg-Landau model of supercon
ductivity with normal impurity inclusion is considered. A standing fea
ture of this problem is the vortex-pinning effect (i.e., the zeros of
solutions are attracted to the region occupied by the normal impuritie
s) as some parameters are sufficiently small. Asymptotic behaviors of
the solutions of this problem as these parameters tend to zero is stud
ied, and the vortex-pinning effect is proved.
