Abstract
The properties of type-II superconductors can be described within the framework of the London model at low applied fields (at κ ≫ 1) and of the Abrikosov model at high applied fields. In the intermediate field range, Hc1 ≪ H ≪ Hc2 these models lose their applicability. In this context, it is important to develop a self-consistent method allowing one to calculate the magnetization and other characteristics of the superconductor over a wide range of magnetic fields and values of κ.
