==Superconductivity== In the context of superconductivity, in type II superconductors, fluxons (also known as Abrikosov vortices) can form when the applied field lies between B_{c_1} and B_{c_2}. The fluxon is a small whisker of normal phase surrounded by superconducting phase, and Supercurrents circulate around the normal core. The magnetic field through such a whisker and its neighborhood, which has size of the order of London penetration depth \lambda_L (~100 nm), is quantized because of the phase properties of the magnetic vector potential in quantum electrodynamics, see magnetic flux quantum for details.
