We predict that in a bulk type-1.5 superconductor the competing magnetic responses of the two components of the order parameter can result in a vortex interaction that generates group-stabilized giant vortices and unusual vortex rings in…
Eliashberg theory is used to investigate the range of thermodynamic properties possible within a two-band model for s-wave superconductivity and to identify signatures of its two-band nature. We emphasize dimensionless BCS ratios (those for…
We study vortex structure in a two-band superconductor, in which one band is ballistic and quasi-two-dimensional (2D), and the other is diffusive and three-dimensional (3D). A circular cell approximation of the vortex lattice within the…
We report a microscopic derivation of two-component Ginzburg-Landau (GL) field theory and the conditions of its validity in two-band superconductors. We also investigate the conditions when microscopically derived or phenomenological GL…
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…
It has been shown that interband mixing of gradients of two order parameters (drag effect) in an isotropic bulk two-band superconductor plays important role - such a quantity of the intergradients coupling exists that the two-band…
We study the 1D model of conduction electrons interacting with local vibronic modes. States in the conduction band are two-fold degenerate both in orbital index and spin. It is shown that such 1D system has a strong tendency to…
Traditionally, superconductors are categorized as type-I or type-II. Type-I superconductors support only Meissner and normal states, while type-II superconductors form magnetic vortices in sufficiently strong applied magnetic fields.…
The two gaps in a two-band clean s-wave superconductor are evaluated self-consistently within the quasiclassical Eilenberger weak-coupling formalism with two in-band and one inter-band pairing potentials. Superfluid density, free energy and…
Coexistence of antiferromagnetic order with superconductivity in many families of newly discovered iron-based superconductors has renewed interest to this old problem. Due to competition between the two types of order, one can expect…

It is shown that within the Ginzburg-Landau (GL) approximation the order parameters Delta1(r, T) and Delta2(r, T) in two-band superconductors vary on the same length scale, the difference in the zero-T coherence lengths xi0_i…
We study the vortex formation in extreme type-II superconductors immersed in strong magnetic fields in the framework of the the Ginzburg-Landau theory. We focus on the regime where superconductivity survives in the bulk of the material but…
The electronic structure of vortices in a type II superconductor is analyzed within the quasi-classical Eilenberger framework. The possible origin of a sixfold ``star'' shape of the local density of states, observed by scanning tunneling…
We study the electronic structure in the vicinity of a vortex in a two-band superconductor in which the quasiparticle motion is ballistic in one band and diffusive in the other. This study is based on a model appropriate for such a case,…
We present a systematic study of the response properties of two-band (multi-gap) superconductors with spin-singlet (s-wave) pairing correlations, which are assumed to be caused by both intraband (\lambda_{ii}, i=1,2) and interband…
We demonstrate existence of non-pairwise interaction forces between vortices in multicomponent and layered superconducting systems. That is, in contrast to most common models, the interactions in a group of such vortices is not a universal…
The nature of superconductivity in monolayer transition metal dichalcogenides is still an object of debate. It has already been argued that repulsive Coulomb interactions, combined with the disjoint Fermi surfaces around the $K$, $K'$…
Magnetic response is a fundamental property of superconducting materials, which helps to distinguish two superconductivity types: the ideally diamagnetic type I and type II, which can develop the mixed state with Abrikosov vortices. We…
We investigate the stability of noncomposite fractional vortex states in a mesoscopic two-band superconductor within the two-component Ginzburg-Landau model. Our analysis explicitly takes into account the relationship between the model…
