Description
Summary:Interaction of a moving screw dislocation with conduction electrons is considered in the conventional pure superconductors. At temperatures T < < TT sub(c), both `slow' dislocations are considered, which interact only with thermally excited quasiparticles, and `fast' dislocations which also break the Cooper pairs. Near the critical temperature, two limiting cases are considered depending on the relation between Meissner penetration depth and anomalous skin-layer depth for the dislocation-induced electromagnetic field. Power dissipation dependence on temperature and dislocation velocity is obtained. Due to low field intensity in the short-wave part of spectrum, the superconducting state is shown not to be destructed by a moving dislocation in a broad range of temperatures. Non-equilibrium states of electronic system created by the dislocation field are analyzed in the paper. With this purpose, Eliashberg's kinetic equation for a multi-mode excitation source is used. Dislocation field is shown to reduce the order parameter when < < TT sub(c), or stimulate superconductivity when (T-T sub(c))/T sub(c < < T)1. Damping reduction to stimulation effect is discussed. Power dissipation dependence on the dislocations concentration in non-equilibrium state is obtained.
