Magnetic effect of bias current in superconducting thin films

Width and temperature dependence of hysteretic current–voltage character in long Niobium microbridges

“…Consequently, the vortices run out of the steady state causing a sudden jump into the normal state below the depairing current. This formalism has been used in some cases [15] to explain the hysteretic voltage jumps in the IV curves of YBCO microbridges.…”
