Encyclopedia > Flux quantization

Flux quantization is a quantum phenomenon in which the magnetic field is quantized in the unit of h / 2e, also known variously as flux quanta, fluxoids, vortices or fluxons. It has been suggested that Magnetic field density be merged into this article or section. ... Wikipedia does not have an article with this exact name. ...


Flux quantization occurs in Type II superconductors subjected to a magnetic field. Below a critical field Hc1, all magnetic flux is expulsed according to the Meissner effect and perfect diamagnetism is observed, exactly as in a Type I superconductor. Up to a second critical field value, Hc2, flux penetrates in discrete units while the bulk of the material remains superconducting. Both critical fields are temperature dependent, and tabulated values are the zero-temperature extrapolation unless otherwise noted. Meissner effect Diagram of the Meissner effect. ...

Flux - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia (1627 words)
Stokes theorem states that the flux of the curl of a vector field is the path integral of the vector field over this boundary.
Except in the case of active transport, net flux is directly proportional to the concentration difference across the membrane, the surface area of the membrane, and the membrane permeability constant.
In ecology, flux is often considered at the ecosystem level - for instance, accurate determination of carbon fluxes (at a regional and global level) is essential for modeling the causes and consequences of global warming.
