Abstract
It is shown that a plane front of magnetic flux entering into a type-I I superconductor manifests an instability. This instability is caused by the positive feedback between the front heating and vortex flux dif fusion in the superconductor. The instability gives rise to a spatiall y inhomogeneous flux state in the sample.
