Abstract

We consider a model for superconductivity in a two-band superconductor, having an anisotropic electronic structure made of two partially overlapping bands with a first hole-like and a second electron-like fermi surface. In this pairing scenario, driven by the interplay between interband Vi,jV_{i,j} and intraband Vi,iV_{i,i} pairing terms, we have solved the two gap equations at the critical temperature T=TcT = T_c and calculate TcT_c and the chemical potential μ\mu as a function of the number of carriers nn for various values of pairing interactions, V1,1V_{1,1}, V2,2V_{2,2}, and V1,2V_{1,2}. The results show the complexity of the physics of condensates with multiple order parameters with the chemical potential near band edges.
