Note that in type-II superconductors . The circulating supercurrents induce magnetic fields with the total flux equal to a single flux quantum . Therefore, an Abrikosov vortex is often called a fluxon.
In type-II superconductors , circulating supercurrents produce magnetic fields with a cumulative flux equivalent to a single quantum of magnetic flux. Consequently, the Abrikosov vortex is often termed a fluxon.
