Abstract
The Ginzburg-Landau (GL) theory is a celebrated tool for theoretical modelling of
superconductors [1]. We elaborate on different partial differential equations (PDEs) and
boundary conditions for GL theory, formulated within the finite element method (FEM) [2].
Examples of PDEs for the calculation of stationary states with the GL equation and with the
time-dependent GL equation are given. Moreover we study real time evolution with the so
called Schrödinger-GL equation [3]. For simplicity we here present numerical data for a twodimensional
rectangular geometry, but we emphasize that our FEM formulation can handle
complex geometries also in a three-dimensional superconducting structure. To include
external currents in our modelling we discuss the role of the boundary conditions for the
external magnetic field [4]. Finally we show results for the pinning of vortices with controlled
impurities.
