Geometry-dependent critical currents in superconducting nanocircuits

In this paper, we calculate the critical currents in thin superconducting strips with sharp right-angle turns, 180∘ turnarounds, and more complicated geometries, where all the line widths are much smaller than the Pearl length Λ=2λ2/d. We define the critical current as the current that reduces the G...
