Abstract

Recent experiments on long hollow nanocylinders have reported an anomalous broadening and a multistep character of the resistive transition between normal and superconducting states with increasing magnetic field. Here we show that a first-order phase separation is not the reason for such behavior since it can arise only for a wall thickness that is much larger than in the investigated samples (∼30 nm). On the contrary, it is found that the destruction of global coherence in the transition neighborhood should be triggered by intrinsic long-range inhomogeneities of the cylinder.
