Transport Properties of Clean Type-II Superconductors in the Flux-Flow Regime

Abstract
We recalculate the flux-flow resistivity and the Ettingshausen coefficient of clean type-II superconductors in the high-field region. Use is made of a Green's function due to Brandt, Pesch, and Tewordt, which enables accurate calculation of the transport properties in the vicinity of the upper critical field. Both the flux-flow resistivity and the Ettingshausen effect can be compared with the previous calculation in the limit of the small order parameter, although the present expression for the flux-flow resistivity results in a slope at H=Hc2 larger by a factor of 2. We also find a strong mean-free-path dependence of these coefficients in lower fields.
