A second-order phase transition, however, does take place at $H_{c1}$, and is due to a discontinuity in $\chi = \frac{d^2F}{dH^2}$. -The transition from the vortex to the normal state is also of second order.\footnote{Sources on this seem hard to find. The magnetization graph seems continuous, so a second-order transition seems plausible. By describing the transition as the disappearance of the order parameter $M$, it can be seen that there indeed is a true phase transition.} - +The transition from the vortex to the normal state is also of second order, +as the magnetization graph is continuous but the magnetization (order paramater) disappears above $H_{c2}$. \bibliographystyle{vancouver} \bibliography{references.bib}
