Ginzburg-Landau analysis of the critical temperature and the upper critical field for three-band superconductors

Abstract

Using the microscopic formalism of Eilenberger equations, a three-band Ginzburg-Landau theory for the intraband dirty limit and clean interband scattering case is derived. Within the framework of this three-band Ginzburg-Landau theory, expressions for the critical temperature Tc and the temperature dependence of the upper critical field H_c2 are obtained. Based on some special cases of the matrix of interaction constants, we demonstrate the influence of the sign of the interband interaction on the critical temperature and the upper critical field as compared with a two-band superconductor where it plays no role. We study also analytically and numerically the effect of its magnitude.
