The Ginzburg–Landau model for superconductivity is examined in the one-dimensional case. First, putting the Ginzburg–Landau parameter κ formally equal to infinity, the existence of a minimizer of this reduced Ginzburg–Landau energy is proved. Then asymptotic behaviour for large κ of minimizers of the full Ginzburg–Landau energy is analysed and different convergence results are obtained, according to the exterior magnetic field. Numerical computations illustrate the various behaviours.

Some new global results are given about solutions to the boundary value problem for the Euler–Lagrange equations for the Ginzburg–Landau model of a one-dimensional superconductor. The main advance is a proof that in some parameter range there is a branch of asymmetric solutions connecting the branch of symmetric solutions to the normal state. Also, simplified proofs are presented for some local bifurcation results of Bolley and Helffer. These proofs require no detailed asymptotics for solution of the linear equations. Finally, an error in Odeh's work on this problem is discussed.

In the preceding paper of this issue of EJAM, Bolley & Helffer [5] add to their extensive set of results on bifurcation in the one-dimensional Ginzburg–Landau model of superconductivity. One of their new results concerns the direction of bifurcation of symmetric solutions. We give another approach to this problem.

In this article we consider a critical thermodynamic system with the shape of a thin film confined between two parallel planes. It is assumed that the state of the system at a given temperature and external ordering field is described by order-parameter profiles, which minimize the one-dimensional counterpart of the standard ϕ4 Ginzburg–Landau Hamiltonian and meet the so-called Neumann – Neumann boundary conditions. We give analytic representation of the extremals of this variational problem in terms ofWeierstrass elliptic functions. Then, depending on the temperature and ordering field we determine the minimizers and obtain the phase diagram in the temperature-field plane.

When a thin layer of normal (non-superconducting) material is placed between layers of superconducting material, a superconducting-normal-superconducting junction is formed. This paper considers a model for the junction based on the Ginzburg–Landau equations as the thickness of the normal layer tends to zero. The model is first derived formally by averaging the unknown variables in the normal layer. Rigorous convergence is then established, as well as an estimate for the order of convergence. Numerical results are shown for one-dimensional junctions.
