Abstract

A similarity in the dc voltage-current (V-I) curves for both direct and alternating transport currents is used to propose that unpinned flux vortices are generated above theI ctransition for dc transport currents, when Abrikosov flux vortices begin to penetrate the superconductor. Two methods can be used to give a dc voltage drop for an ac transport current: (1) if there is a slight dc offset voltage in the ac current which favors vortex loop collapse as in a traditional dcI ctest, or (2) if an asymmetric transverse magnetic field is present which favors vortex loop collapse for current in one direction over the reverse direction.
