Phenomenological theory of dissipation in a superconductor

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

Interest in nonequilibrium superconductivity in recent years has led to the discovery of numerous relaxation processes characteristic of superconductors. On the basis of the thermodynamic theory of irreversible processes, a systematic account is given of the transport coefficients and relaxation times of a superconductor.
