Theory of fluctuations in a two-band superconductor

Superconductivity 2009-11-10 v1

Abstract

A theory of fluctuations in two-band superconductor MgB2_{2} is developed. Since the standard Ginzburg-Landau (GL) approach fails in description of its properties, we generalize it basing on the microscopic theory of a two-band superconductor. Calculating the microscopic fluctuation propagator, we build up the nonlocal two-band GL functional and the corresponding time-dependent GL equations. This allows us to calculate the main fluctuation observables such as fluctuation specific heat and conductivity.
