Abstract
We report on the magnetic properties of very pure superconducting vanadium foils (a resistivity ratio of 1500 in the starting single-crystal rod and of 300 in the cold-rolled foils). The magnetization curves are analyzed to obtain, as a function of temperature, the critical magnetic fields, the Ginzburg-Landau parameters, and the characteristic superconducting lengths. The experimental data are compared with the theoretical calculations of Eilenberger and with other measurements reported in the literature.
