\section{Currents inside type-II superconducting cylinder} \section{Currents inside type-II superconducting cylinder}
For $B_{c1} < B_E < B_{c2}$, the cylinder of type-II superconductor material is in the mixed state.
In the mixed or vortex state, superconductors let through a number of finite flux quanta $\Phi_0$.
Some small regions of the material are not superconducting, but in the normal state.
Flux passes through these regions in multiples of $\Phi_0$, but usually just one $\Phi_0$ per region,
and a supercurrent is generated to expel the field from the rest of the material.
This supercurrent moves around these region in a vortex-like shape.
Please see the figure below for a beautiful drawing.
