Abstract
Relaxation dynamics of a normal spot in a magnetic field below the critical temperature is considered. Three different regimes of superconducting nucl eation leading to the Abrikosov vortex state are predicted analytically and observed numerically. In particular, a split of supervortex, regular growt h of the Abrikosov lattice, and explosive creation of vortex-antivortex liq uid are possible scenarios. [S0163-1829(99)07213-6].
