Abstract

AbstractA superconductor with nonmagnetic impurities is considered in the limiting case of small mean free path (l ≪ ξ0) and high magnetic field (H ≈ Hc2). The principles of the phenomenological nonequilibrium thermodynamics are applied to the superconductor and the dissipation function is calculated. For the free energy of the superconductor a functional is used which leads in the equilibrium case to Maki's generalized Ginzburg‐Landau equation. However, the current density resulting from this functional differs in the order of the operators from Maki's expression. The results of the phenomenological considerations are in agreement with the time‐dependent Ginzburg‐Landau equation recently obtained by Caroli and Maki from the microscopic theory.
