ABSTRACT
This online project is for my personal entertainment, so I assume no responsibility for statements or opinions, although it will follow my understanding of the subject. At some point it may grow into something bigger, then it will be polished and edited, but for now, please bear with my lame English. The motivation for this work is very simple – I am fascinated by the enigmatic patterns of the intermediate state of type-I superconductors and I would like to understand how these patterns are related to the observable macroscopic physical properties. This work is mostly experimental, though some theory will be discussed.
This project is funded by the National Science Foundation, grant # DMR 05-53285
