Limits of the upper critical field in dirty two-gap superconductors
An overview of the theory of the upper critical field in dirty two-gap superconductors, with a particular emphasis on MgB2 is given. We focus here on the maximum Hc2 which may be achieved by increasing intraband scattering, and on the limitations imposed by weak interband scattering and paramagnetic effects. In particular, we discuss recent experiments which have demonstrated tenfold increase o...
متن کاملUpper critical field in dirty two-band superconductors: Breakdown of the anisotropic Ginzburg-Landau theory
We investigate the upper critical field in a dirty two-band superconductor within quasiclassical Usadel equations. The regime of very high anisotropy in the quasi-2D band, relevant for MgB2, is considered. We show that strong disparities in pairing interactions and diffusion constant anisotropies for two bands influence the in-plane Hc2 in a different way at high and low temperatures. This caus...
متن کاملUpper critical field in anisotropic superconductors.
Anisotropic superconductivity has been studied in a variety of one-dimensional, ' intercalated, s and artificially prepared" " systems. Much of the experimental work in these systems is related to measurements of the temperature and angular dependence of the upper critical fields H, 2. In many cases, the experiments determine the critical field at which surface superconductivity nucleates, i.e....
متن کاملUpper Critical Field for Cobalt Oxide Superconductors
Motivated by the recent discovery of the cobalt oxide superconductors, we calculate the temperature dependence of the upper critical field on a triangular lattice. Using the lattice version of the Gor’kov equations we investigate how the applied magnetic field affects singlet and triplet types of superconductivity. We show that in a wide range of model parameters not only Zeeman coupling, but a...
متن کاملDirect measurement of the upper critical field in cuprate superconductors
In the quest to increase the critical temperature Tc of cuprate superconductors, it is essential to identify the factors that limit the strength of superconductivity. The upper critical field Hc2 is a fundamental measure of that strength, yet there is no agreement on its magnitude and doping dependence in cuprate superconductors. Here we show that the thermal conductivity can be used to directl...
