Description of Resistive Transition for Type-II Superconductors

https://doi.org/10.1007/s10948-024-06894-4

The Boltzmann sigmoid function effectively describes parameter changes during transitions between different states. A method using the Boltzmann function is proposed to analyze the temperature dependencies of superconductors near their critical temperature. Data for various superconductors (MgB₂, YBCO, Bi2212, a high-entropy alloy, CeH₉) are described, and parameters characterizing their resistive transition are estimated.
