Dynamic phase-slip centers and the resistive state of a strong-nonequilibrium superconductor

The model of dynamic phase-slip centers is considered for the resistive state of a strong-nonequilibrium, quasi-one-dimensional superconductor. It is shown that at a certain type of nonequilibrium, the factor in the first time-derivative of the order parameter in the time-dependent Ginzburg-Landau equation can be made small. In this case the dynamic phase-slip centers in a two-dimensional space-time x; t have a structure quite similar to that of vortex lines in the mixed state of a type II superconductor in ordinary space.
