Contribution
It provides a detailed analysis of the phase diagram structure and properties of layered superconductors under current, including effects of finite size and disorder, and explains non-ohmic behavior.
Findings
Identification of four distinct regions in the phase diagram
Characterization of current-voltage and resistance in each region
Explanation of non-ohmic behavior above the transition temperature
Abstract
The behavior of clean layered superconductors in the presence of a finite electric current and in zero-magnetic field behavior is addressed. The structure of the current temperature phase diagram and the properties of each of the four regions will be explained. We will discuss the expected current voltage and resistance characteristics of each region as well as the effects of finite size and weak disorder on the phase diagram. In addition, the reason for which a weakly non-ohmic region exists above the transition temperature will be explained.
