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…
A simple relation is established between the zero-$T$ penetration depth $\lambda (0)$ and the slope of $\lambda^{-2}(T)$ near $T_c$, similar to Helfand-Werthamer's relation for $H_{c2}(0)$ and the slope of $H_{c2}(T)$ at $T_c$ for the…
