Dynamic resistance of the current-induced intermediate state in superconductors

  • Published:
Journal of Low Temperature Physics Aims and scope Submit manuscript

We have measured the in-phase component of the low-frequency ac impedance of the dc current-induced intermediate state in wires of pure and impure type I superconductors. We find that this dynamic resistance of the intermediate state is greater than the normal state resistance of the wire. The linear response theory for the dynamic resistance developed by Gauthier and Rochon provides a reasonable qualitative understanding of our experimental results.
