Abstract

The Ginzburg-Landau theory is generalized to the case when the Cooper pairs can form several condensates, i.e., accumulate in several different states. A homogeneous mixed state is obtained for type-II superconductors with a constant density of “superconducting electrons” and constant magentic field in a bulk sample. This state turns out to be thermodynamically more favorable than the vortex structure of Abrikosov.
