Abstract

Field penetration profiles in type-II superconductors with nonparallel vortex configurations are obtained by a proposed least action principle. We introduce a functional C[H→] which is minimized for the current density constrained by J→∈Δ(H→,x→), where Δ is a bounded set. Within the isotropic case |J→|≤Jc(H), the profiles H→(x→,t) are derived for an applied changing excitation. The model can reproduce the physical phenomena of flux transport and consumption, and the magnetization collapse in crossed field measurements.
