Meissner screening profile for a bulk superconductor.

Meissner screening profile derived from London theory for a bulk superconductor, wherein the material’s electromagnetic response is treated in the local limit.

Parameters:

  • depth_nm – Depth below the surface (nm).

  • applied_field_G – Applied magnetic field (G).

  • dead_layer_nm – Thickness of the non-superconducting surface dead layer (nm).

  • penetration_depth_nm – Magnetic penetration depth (nm).

  • demagnetization_factor – Effective demagnetization factor.

Returns:

The Meissner screening profile at depth depth_nm (G).

Example

import numpy as np
import matplotlib.pyplot as plt
from hyperfine.superconductivity import london

z = np.linspace(0.0, 200.0, 100)
args = (100.0, 10.0, 50.0, 0.05)
plt.plot(z, london.screening_profile_bulk(z, *args), "-")
plt.xlabel("$z$ (nm)")
plt.ylabel("$B(z)$ (nm)")
plt.show()
