A dimensionless parameter characterizing the transition between the normal and superconducting states in a superconductor.

The statement of the theorem

Define the characteristic lengths λ\lambda (magnetic penetration depth) and ξ\xi (coherence length) in a superconductor. The Ginzburg-Landau parameter κ\kappa is defined as the ratio of these two lengths:\nκ=λξ\kappa = \frac{\lambda}{\xi} \nThis parameter determines the relative strength of magnetic field penetration versus the spatial variation of the superconducting order parameter Ψ\Psi.
