Dependence of Magnetic Induction on the Magnetic Field in Supraconducting Lead

Nature volume 134, pages 286–287 (1934)Cite this article

Abstract

SUPRACONDUCTIVITY is destroyed by a magnetic field, the critical field Hk depending on temperature. Until recently it was held that the magnetic state of a supraconductor could be computed from electro dynamics with the aid of a single assumption that the conductivity is infinitely great right up to Hk. The dependence of the magnetic induction B on the field strength H for this case is shown on Fig. 1 by the thick line.
