Phase-Boundary of a Cubic Superconducting Circuit in a Magnetic-Field of Arbitrary Magnitude and Direction
Abstract
An exact analytic expression for the mean-field phase boundary T(c)(H) of a cubic superconducting circuit in an arbitrary external-magnetic-field vector H is derived. The phase boundary of this circuit is shown to depend in a complex and sensitive way on both the magnitude and the direction of the magnetic field. Some practical applications of these properties are also suggested.
