Critical Magnetic Fields
There are various ways to determine the lower and upper critical magnetic fields,
Bcl and Bc2 , respectively, and Table 9.4 lists measured values for many super-
conductors. Also listed in the table are values of the two negative slopes
dBcl
(22a)
e'c~ = dr
Bfc2 --
dBc2
(22b)
dT'
evaluated at the transition temperature T- T c. Measured values of the upper
critical field slope B~c2 from Eq. (22b) are often in the neighborhood of the Pauli
coefficient 1.83 of Eq. (3),
B'c2 ~-1.83
