摘要
We use a generalization of the Werthamer-Helfand-Hohenberg equations to strong coupling and to two-band superconductivity to study the dependence of the upper critical field H-c2(T) on anisotropy in the electron-phonon coupling and in the Fermi velocities, as well as on arbitrary values of intraband and interband impurity scattering. For a layered system such as MgB2, the temperature dependence of the critical magnetic (H) field itself and the anisotropy ratio H-c2(ab)(T)/H-c2(c)(T) between ab (H in the basal plane) and c (H perpendicular to the basal plane) directions are studied. For MgB2, the anisotropy ratio is found to be particularly sensitive to intraband impurity scattering in the pi band.
