Abstract
The relaxation dynamics of a quenched normal spot in a type-II superconductor is considered analytically and numerically. Different regimes of superconducting nucleation leading to various Abrikosov-vortex structures are predicted. In particular, a ringlike vortex structure and regular growth of the Abrikosov lattice are possible scenarios.
