Multiband superconductivity in high pressure sulfur hydrides

Abstract

The temperature dependence of the two superconducting gaps in pressurised H_3S at 155 GPa with a critical temperature of 203 K has been determined by data analysis of the experimental curve of the upper critical magnetic field as a function of temperature in the framework of the two bands s-wave Eliashberg theory, with two different phonon mediated intra-band Cooper pairing channels in a regime of moderate strong couplings with the key role of the pair exchange interaction between the two gaps giving the two non-diagonal terms of the coupling tensor which are missing in the single band s wave Eliashberg theory. The results provide the prediction of the different temperature dependence of the small and large gaps as a function of temperature which provide evidence of multi-gap superconductivity in H_3S.
