SuperScreen

SuperScreen is an open-source Python package for simulating
the magnetic response of 2D superconductors and thin film superconducting devices of arbitrary geometry.
Using a matrix inversion method introduced by Brandt [Brandt-PRB-2005], SuperScreen
solves
the coupled London and Maxwell’s equations in and around superconducting thin films in the presence of
inhomogeneous applied magnetic fields, trapped flux, and bias currents.

The accepted version of the paper can also be found on arXiv: arXiv:2203.13388.
SuperScreen
can be used to calculate:
Self- and mutual-inductances in thin film superconducting structures
Flux-focusing and Meissner screening effects in superconducting devices
Vector magnetic fields resulting from currents in 2D superconducting structures
