Abstract
Firstly we introduce the detailed variational approach which is close to the problem of finding the highest magnetic field for which the superconducting sheath states nucleates at the surface of the specimen. By considering the surface effect we can linearise the Ginzburg-Landau equation to get such kind of equation which is Schrödinger's equation like. We then describe a method for choosing a suitable trial function, which represents the behavior of superconducting order parameter. With Raleigh-Ritz principle the Eigen value of ground state which is related with critical magnetic field Hc3 at which nucleation on the surface appears found computationally thus the methods used in this paper is useful in computational materials. The numerical relation of Hc2 is represented by h with ε that we have found, can be used to predict the nucleation field on specimen's surface. Beside that by considering angular variation of external magnetic field we find the relation of Hc3 with Hc2 fulfill Hc3 = 1.7Hc2 and we show that our results are in agreement with physical argument.
