Abstract

The general phenomenological dispersion law for type II superconductors is presented. In addition to thermal conduction, charge fluctuation decay, and contact potential modes, it is shown that there in general exists a high-frequency propagating mode determined by the low-frequency resistance at super-normal junctions. This may be the mode observed by Carlson and Goldman.
