Abstract

The thermoelectric effect in hollow cylindrical specimens (of circular and slit-like shapes) is considered. The detailed analysis of the behavior of the superconducting thin-walled cylinder in presence of normal current, is presented. The ratio of magnetic fluxes through the cylinder in superconducting and normal states is calculated as a function of temperature, wall thickness and other parameters of the superconductors. The “gigantic” thermoelectric effect is discussed using the concept of quantum transitions between the magnetic levels of cylindrical system. Some experimentally observable predictions are made.
