Orbital magnetism in the density functional theory of superconductors

W. Kohn , E.K.U. Gross , L.N. Oliveira

A current-density functional theory for superconductors in a magnetic field is developed. The formalism results in a set of self-consistent Kohn-Sham equations to be solved, in a second self-consistency loop, with Maxwell's equations for the vector potential.
