Nb. Brandt et al., THE EMERGENCE OF RESISTIVE STATE IN THE MEISSNER PHASE OF SUPERCONDUCTORS UPON AN INCREASE IN TEMPERATURE BELOW THE CRITICAL-POINT, Low temperature physics (Woodbury, N.Y.), 24(8), 1998, pp. 537-539
It is shown that the resistive state emerging upon an increase in temp
erature in the region below the critical point in the Meissner phase o
f superconductors can be detected by measuring the variation of the fr
ozen magnetic field in a mesoscopic hollow cylindrical sample upon its
heating in the superconducting state. Owing to magnetic flux quantiza
tion, the decrease in the magnetic field upon heating must be step-wis
