Abstract

A theoretical analysis is made of the magnetic field screening in thin superconducting films in the Meissner state. Simple approximations are derived for the current density distribution over the film thickness which are everywhere analytical and satisfy the initial equations with a high degree of accuracy. This approximation can be used to determine the demagnetization factor of the film and to estimate the magnetic field for entry of the first vortices into the sample.
