← ScienceWhich outcome occurs when exceeding critical current density?
A)Superconductivity is immediately destroyed completely
B)Flux pinning causes inhomogeneous superconductivity✓
C)Quantum tunneling spontaneously generates current
D)Material becomes a Mott insulator afterwards
💡 Explanation
The motion of vortices initiates dissipation because exceeding critical current density leads the Lorentz force to overcome flux pinning in the Type-II superconductor. The Abrikosov vortices begin to move lowering superconductivity; therefore flux pinning initiates, generating spatially divided superconductivity, rather than an immediate destruction of it.
