The density of superconductivity in the bulk regime

Abstract

In the asymptotic limit of a large Ginzburg-Landau parameter, we give a new asymptotic formula for the $L^2$-norm of the Ginzburg-Landau order parameter. The formula is valid in the bulk regime where the intensity of the applied magnetic field is of the same order as the Ginzburg-Landau parameter and strictly below the second critical field. Our formula complements the celebrated one of Sandier-Serfaty for the $L^4$-norm.
