Abstract

The macroscopic theory of force free magnetic fields in the mixed state of type II superconductors is presented. Solutions for cylindrical geometry are compared with experimental data from a Pb-40 at% Tl alloy. In the experiments the sample is subjected to combinations of field and current in a longitudinal configuration and both axial magnetization and axial resistance are simultaneously monitored. The observed paramagnetic moment is in good agreement with the predictions. An unexpected feature of the experimental results is the appearance of flux flow resistance at high currents. Coupled magnetic and resistive oscillations and discontinuities are observed in the flux flow regime. The system is magnetically irreversible in the resistance less state and reversible during flux flow. The results are discussed in the context of force free field theory.
