Wave Equations of Elastic Type-II Superconductors

Abstract

ABSTRACTIt is shown that when the thermodynamic fluxes are included as independent thermodynamic state variables of the generalized entropy density, the constitutive equations for the conserved state variables and the evolution equations for the nonconserved state variables of elastic type-II superconductors can be derived systematically. In particular, the transport equations generalizing the Fourier law for heat transport and the time-dependent Ginzburg-Landau equation for the relaxation of superelectron are proposed in this paper.
