Abstract
A number of simple models are discussed for the magnetic permeability behavior of type-II superconductors. It turns out that the London-Bean model extended with a surface barrier as discussed by Ullmaier and by Wipf, though it gives a satisfactory description of the alternating current losses, fails as soon as the real part of the permeability is also taken into account. It proves to be possible, however, to give a different extension to the London-Bean model consisting of a surface layer without pinning. This model is in satisfactory agreement with the experimental data.
