Abstract

Solutions of the Ginzburg-Landau equations for a complex superconducting phase are presented for regions close to a domain wall and to the surface. The finite local magnetization found at these inhomogeneities yields a small magnetic response via a movement of domain walls in an external magnetic field. We examine line defects in the walls which are vortices enclosing a fraction of the universal flux quantum.
