Abstract
In our discussion of flux motion induced by the Lorentz force or the thermal force we have seen that for flux flow to occur the driving force must exceed the pinning force. The pinning force then determines the critical current and the critical temperature gradient according to (7.8) and (9.3), respectively. Flux pinning can keep the superconductor from reaching thermodynamic equilibrium in its magnetic properties and causes irreversibilities in its magnetic behavior. In the following we shall discuss the critical state of the superconductor and the various mechanisms for flux pinning. The subject of flux pinning in type-II superconductors has been treated in the reviews by CAMPBELL and EVETTS [7.10] and by ULLMAIER [11.1].
