Excess current in point contacts on two-band superconductor MgB in magnetic field
arXiv:cond-mat/0403324 · doi:10.1016/j.ssc.2004.11.037
Abstract
Series of characteristic and bias-dependent differential resistance for point-contacts on the single crystals of two-band superconductor MgB were measured in magnetic field up to 9 T. We have obtained magnetic field dependences of the excess current on the curves and analyzed them using Koshelev and Golubov (Phys. Rev. Lett. {\bf 90}, 177002 (2003)) theoretical results for the mixed state of a dirty two-band superconductor. Introducing a simple model for the excess current in the point contact in the mixed state our data can be qualitatively described utilizing theoretical magnetic filed behavior of the and -band superconducting order parameters and the corresponding averaged electronic density of states in MgB.
