超导材料NbS_2上临界磁场的理论分析

Theoretical analysis on the upper critical field of superconductor NbS_2

根据两带Ginzburg-Landau理论计算了层状超导材料NbS2的上临界磁场,以及上临界磁场各向异性参数随温度的变化情况,并将NbS_2与MgB_2,NbSe_2上临界磁场的各向异性进行比较.所得计算结果与已有实验数据符合得很好,充分说明了NbS_2的超导电性具有两能隙特征.NbS_2上临界磁场各向异性参数在5.0 K附近逐渐变小,这与MgB_2和NbSe_2有相似之处.但NbS2的上临界磁场各向异性参数大约为7.3,明显大于MgB_2和NbSe_2.计算结果还表明,NbS_2较大能隙所对应能带的有效质量比约为54,另一能带的有效质量基本为各向同性.

From the two-band Ginzburg-Landau theory, we study the temperature dependence of upper critical field on the layered superconductor NbS2. The temperature dependence of the anisotropic parameter for upper critical filed is also obtained. All the results fit the experimental data well in a broad temperature range. Thus our results show strong evidence that two-gap scenario is better to account for the superconductivity of NbS2. The anisotropic parameter of the upper critical field for NbS2 starts to decrease from 5.0 K, and this behavior is similar to those of MgB2 and NbSe2. However for NbS2 this number is about 7.3, which is much greater than the ones in MgB2 and NbSe2. The results also show that the band with the larger gap exhibits that the effective mass ratio between the in-plane and out-of-plane direction is about 54, and the other band indicates that the effective mass ratio is almost isotropic.
