Ginzburg-Landau theory of vortices in a multi-gap superconductor

Abstract

The Ginzburg-Landau functional for a two-gap superconductor is derived within the weak-coupling BCS model. The two-gap Ginzburg-Landau theory is, then, applied to investigate various magnetic properties of MgB2 including an upturn temperature dependence of the transverse upper critical field and a core structure of an isolated vortex. Orientation of vortex lattice relative to crystallographic axes is studied for magnetic fields parallel to the c-axis. A peculiar 30-degree rotation of the vortex lattice with increasing strength of an applied field observed by neutron scattering is attributed to the multi-gap nature of superconductivity in MgB2.
