Superconductors may be divided into two classes, according to whether the penetration depth X is greater or less than the coherence length $. Those with) I.) P have been called London superconductors, and those with) & g Pippard superconductors.'It has be-come evident, both from the phenomenological de-velopment by Abrikosov'of the Ginzburg—Landau'theory, and from the work of Gor'kov4 based on the microscopic BCS theory, that the great majority of superconducting alloys and compounds are of the London type. This is in contrast to most elemental superconductors, which are of the Pippard type except in a very narrow temperature range close to T, where they show the Londontype of behavior. Per-haps the best-known property of the London super-conductor is the mixed state,'which occurs between a lower field H. and an upper field H, s. In this state (not to be confused with the geometrical intermediate state), there is partial flux penetration into the sample, and the transition to the normal state is com-pleted at H, s which is greaterthan the thermody-namic critical field H,. Abrikosovshowed that if the G—L order parameter s is greater than 1/v 2, the mixed state appears, and the upper critical field H, Q is given by
