Abstract
Using a known distribution of the Meissner currents over the surface of an infinitely long superconducting slab with a rectangular cross section, we find an applied magnetic field at which vortices begin to penetrate into the superconductor. This vortex-penetration field is determined by an interplay of the geometrical and Bean-Livingston barriers. The obtained results enable one to find the lower critical field and the London penetration depth from measurements of the magnetic induction on the surface of the superconducting slab, using, e.g., the micro-Hall probes.
