Dynamic dissipative mixed states in inhomogeneous type II superconductors

Dynamic dissipative mixed states, energy dissipation, and the penetration of a transport current's self-magnetic field are considered for the following type II superconductors: low temperature small-crystallite metal films, high temperature polycrystalline films, and bulk inhomogeneous (granular) samples. The special transport properties of such superconductors are primarily due to their morphology.
