We demonstrate that the healing of two-band superconductivity near the surface of the system is governed by length scales which are drastically different from correlation lengths. Similar to the one-band case, one of the characteristic…
In a two-band superconductor, two qualitatively different fluctuation modes related to the gap modules contribute to free energy and heat capacity, in addition to the phase fluctuations. The first mode has divergent temperature behaviour…
Multiband superconductivity arises when multiple electronic bands contribute to the formation of the superconducting state, allowing distinct pairing interactions and gap structures. Here, we present field- and temperature-dependent data on…
We study the existence of intraband and interband pairing in the extended two band and three-band Hubbard model. It is shown that including interband pairing significantly increases the superconducting critical temperature in comparison…
We introduce a multi-band BCS free energy functional and prove that for a multi-band superconductor the effect of inter-band coupling can only increase the critical temperature, irrespective of its attractive or repulsive nature and its…
A large number of experimental facts and theoretical arguments favor a two-gap model for superconductivity in MgB$_{2}$. However, this model predicts strong suppression of the critical temperature by interband impurity scattering and,…
We present here a microscopic two-band model based on the structure of energetic levels of holes in $\mathrm{CuO}_{2}$ conducting layers of cuprates. We prove that two energetically near-lying interacting bands can explain the electron-hole…
We examine possibility of enhancement of superconductive critical temperature in two-dimensions. The weak coupling BCS theory is applied, especially when the Fermi level is near the edges of the electronic bands. The attractive interaction…
In the usual Ginzburg-Landau theory the critical value of the ratio of two fundamental length scales in the thery $\kappa_c=1/\sqrt{2}$ separates regimes of type-I and type-II superconductivity. The latter regime possess thermodynamically…
Using the microscopic formalism of Eilenberger equations, a three-band Ginzburg-Landau theory for the intraband dirty limit and clean interband scattering case is derived. Within the framework of this three-band Ginzburg-Landau theory,…
We propose a two band model for superconductivity. It turns out that the simplest nontrivial case considers solely interband scattering, and both bands can be modeled as symmetric (around the Fermi level) and flat, thus each band is…
In contrast to single-component superconductors, which are described at the level of Ginzburg-Landau theory by a single parameter \kappa and are divided in type-I \kappa<1/\sqrt{2} and type-II \kappa>1/\sqrt{2} classes, two-component…
We propose a simple model for superconductors endowed with two critical temperatures, corresponding to two second-order phase transitions, in the framework of the Ginzburg-Landau mean-field theory. For very large Cooper pair…
In fermionic systems with different types of quasi-particles, attractive interactions can give rise to exotic superconducting states, as pair density wave (PDW) superconductivity and breached pairing. In the last years the search for these…
