The Magnetic Field

A method which preserves the flux-quantization condition in all orders of perturbation theory is applied to the Ginzburg–Landau theory of type-II superconductors near the upper critical field. Expansions are obtained for the order parameter, the magnetic field, and the free energy; previous results are verified and extended to one higher order in Hc2 – Ha.

Upward Curvature

Based on two-band isotropic Ginzburg–Landau theory, we study the temperature dependence of upper critical field and London penetration depth for non-centrosymmetric superconductor LaNiC2. All the theoretical calculations fit the experimental data very well, especially the upward curvature of upper critical field near the critical temperature. Our results thus indicate that the two-gap scenario is better to account for the superconductivity of LaNiC2, and the Cooper pairs of this superconductor are in the conventional s-wave state.

Gl Theory

Temperature dependence of the upper critical field Hc2(T), lower critical field Hc1(T) and thermodynamic magnetic field Hcm(T) are studied in the vicinity of Tc using a two-band Ginzburg–Landau (GL) theory. The results are shown to be in a good agreement with experimental data for the superconducting magnesium diboride (MgB2) and non-magnetic borocarbides LuNi 2 B 2 C ( YNi 2 B 2 C ). In addition, two-band GL theory was applied for the calculation of specific heat jump, which is smaller than in single-band GL theory. Peculiarities of Little–Parks effect in two-band GL theory are studied also. It is shown that the quantization of the magnetic flux and the relation between surface magnetic field Hc3(T) and upper critical field Hc2(T) are the same as in single band GL theory.

Good Agreement

Based on the two-band Ginzburg–Landau theory, we study the angular dependence of the upper critical field for the superconducting crystal Lu 2 Fe 3 Si 5. When θ=0 and θ=π/2, the theoretical results are in good agreement with the experimental data. Hence, the results support the existence of two-gap superconductivity in Lu 2 Fe 3 Si 5, previously suggested from experiments.
