Abstract
Inadequacies of a result for the fluxon mass per unit length m derived from the nonlocal elasticity of the flux line lattice are discussed. Unusual properties of m are pointed out, including a divergent temperature dependence, showing the need to replace this quantity and the associated viscosity in dynamical expressions. An Appendix illustrates one of many alternative fluxon masses and viscosities, the electromagnetic contribution of AJ fluxons.
