Abstract

A theoretical and experimental study of the statics of the two-dimensional mixed state in hollow, type I superconductors of pure tin has been made without considering thermal or other effects. In the experiments, this state could be moved into the interior of the sample by a magnetic field produced by a current flowing in a coaxial wire placed in the hole. This study shows that the current-voltage characteristics can present horizontal segments as well as discontinuities accompanying the appearance or disappearance of the superconducting, normal, or two-dimensional mixed state domains. Within the experimental error, the agreement between the calculated values and the experimental results is quite good.
