----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

1. Assuming concentration n, p; relaxation times e, h; and masses me, mh show
that the Hall coefficient in the drift velocity approximation is

RH = 1/ec [(p-nb2)/(p+nb)2]

Where, b = µe/µh is the mobility ratio.

2. Calculate the critical current and critical current density at 0 K for a long wire of
Pb which has a circular cross-section of radius 5 mm. Critical field for Pb at 0 K is
803 X 10-4 Tesla. Also, calculate the critical current density at 4 K. Tc for Pb is
7.193 K.

3. Consider an infinite superconducting slab bounded by two parallel planes


perpendicular to Y axis at Y = ± d. Let a uniform magnetic field, B applied along z-
axis. Taking the boundary condition that the parallel component of B continues at
the surface, find the induction B, the diamagnetic current density J and the
magnetization density M at a point with in the superconductor. Hence get the
limiting form for the susceptibility for a thick and a thin slab.

4. The London penetration depth of Nb is 65 nm and its GL coherence length is


12.3 nm. Determine whether it is Type I or II superconductor and find the value of
magnetic field for which the flux will be completely excluded from it.
