Abstract

The nonlinear dynamics of magnetic flux, moving in a vortex-free superconductor is considered. It has been shown that the time dependent characteristic size R of magnetic flux domains is described by the scaling behavior R ∼ tv, where v = 1/4 for circular droplets and v = 1/3 for elongated asymmetric droplets. These domains possess a sharp magnetic flux front and exist for a macroscopic long time in contradiction with usual diffusive behavior.
