The bifurcation of symmetric superconducting solutions from the normal solution is considered for the one-dimensional Ginzburg–Landau equations by the methods of formal asymptotics. The behaviour of the bifurcating branch depends upon the parameters d, the size of the superconducting slab, and κ, the Ginzburg–Landau parameter. It was found numerically by Aftalion & Troy [1] that there are three distinct regions of the (κ, d) plane, labelled S1, S2 and S3, in which there are at most one, two and three symmetric solutions of the Ginzburg–Landau system, respectively. The curve in the (κ, d) plane across which the bifurcation switches from being subcritical to supercritical is identified, which is the boundary between S2 and S1∪S3, and the bifurcation diagram is analysed in its vicinity. The triple point, corresponding to the point at which S1, S2 and S3 meet, is determined, and the bifurcation diagram and the boundaries of S1, S2 and S3 are analysed in its vicinity. The results provide formal evidence for the resolution of some of the conjectures of Aftalion & Troy [1].

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.
