✦ Synopsis


An expression for the surface energy at the normal-superconducting boundaries of a laminar intermediate state structure is derived as a function of as/A, where as is the width of superconducting domains and A the surface energy parameter. Numerical calculations show that the ratio A~ ~ (~ is the coherence length) is almost constant for aJA larger than the limit of about 4. This value corresponds to the critical film thickness that separates the regions of type I and type H superconducting behavior.
