FLUX CREEP AND FLUX JUMPING

The flux jump instability of Beans critical state in the flux-creep regime of type-II superconductors is considered. We find the flux-jump field

Proximity-effect enhancement induced by roughness of the superconductor-normal-metal interface

is calculated. We demonstrate that under the conditions typical for most of the magnetization experiments the slope of the current-voltage curve in the flux-creep regime determines the stability of the Beans critical state, i.e., the value of
