Simulation of macroscopic superconductivity for microelectronics

A mathematical framework has been developed for numerical analysis and simu lation of applications in superconducting microelectronics. The approach is similar to those used successfully in semiconductor modeling. Here we inve stigate semidiscrete simulation of the time dependent Ginzburg-Landau equat ions. Several interesting numerical and modeling issues regarding the struc ture of the solutions and their sensitivity to the data and mesh resolution are described using results from a representative problem.
