J(E, B, T) law: models for superconductors

Introduction

This section deals with the models provided for superconducting materials.

Models

To take into account the superconducting behavior of materials, Flux offers only one model that consists of a set of sub-models.

The standard model is a model of power law J(E).

The sub-models take into account the magnetic and thermal dependence on the superconducting resistivity J(E, B), J(E, T) or J(E, B, T).
