Abstract

Recent direct observations of the magnetic structure in thin films of Pb, Sn, and In are discussed relative to resistance measurements on the same films and to earlier experimental and theoretical work on thin films. Comparison to the theoretical results of Maki and Lasher is made and it is found that these results predict reasonably accurately the critical thickness separating intermediate-and mixed-state behavior in the thin films studied. This implies that the critical thickness has been overestimated in earlier work on similar films. It is suggested that this accounts, in part, for the high values obtained for the pure, bulk Ginzburg-Landau parameter in those experiments.
