Mathematical modeling of the magnetic properties of spheroids of hard second kind superconductors in the Bean model

Authors have modelled magnetic field in hard II-type superconductor bodies with cylindric symmetry by means of Bean model. Using the equations of electrodynamics and the Poisson equation for the vector potential, the Fredholm equation of the first kind is derived for the screening supercurrent density. By introducing the explicit form of the current-voltage characteristic and the law of electromagnetic induction, the equation for the supercurrent density is reduced to an integral equation of the 2nd kind, which is solved numerically in matrix form on a non-uniform grid with compaction to the edges of the sample. Density distribution of the screened superconductive current, sample-self magnetic field and hysteresis loops of magnetization in the cases of cylinders and spheroids are obtained.
