Band filling effects on coherence lengths and penetration depth in the two-orbital negative-U Hubbard model of superconductivity
The two-orbital superconducting state is modeled by on-site intra-orbital
negative-U Hubbard correlations together with inter-orbital pair-transfer
interactions. The critical temperature is mainly governed by intra-orbital
attractive interactions and it can pass through an additional maximum as a
function of band filling. For the certain number of electrons the clear
interband proximity effect is observable in the superconducting state of the
band with a smaller gap. The influence of band fillings and orbital site
energies on the temperature dependencies of two-component superconductivity
coherence lengths and magnetic field penetration depth is analyzed. The
presence of proximity effect is probably reflected in the relative temperature
behaviour of characteristic lengths.Comment: Physica C (2012) in pres
Critical and non-critical coherence lengths in a two-band superconductor
We study the peculiarities of coherency in a two-gap superconductor. The both
intraband couplings, inducing superconductivity in the independent bands, and
interband pair-transfer interaction have been taken into account. On the basis
of the Ginzburg-Landau equations derived from the Bogoliubov-de Gennes
equations and the relevant self-consistency conditions for a two-gap system, we
find critical and non-critical coherence lengths in the spatial behaviour of
the fluctuations of order parameters. The character of the temperature
dependencies of these length scales is determined by the relative contributions
from intra- and interband interaction channels.Comment: Accepted for publication in Journal of Superconductivity and Novel

Unusual boundary effect on coherency in two-band superconductors
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 lengths diverges at critical temperature , while another
one shows unusual behaviour having singularity at . By moving away
from the boundary, these scales approach coherence lengths in the bulk state,
where the divergence at is removed by arbitrary weak interband
coupling. Such a boundary-driven modification in coherency affects proximity
phenomenon. We show that critical temperature of binary NS system can exhibit
an inflection near as two-band superconducting layer becomes thinner.Comment: 8 pages, 5 figure
Surface Effect on Spatial Length-Scales in a Two-Gap Superconductor
The healing of two-band superconductivity near its interface is studied. It is demonstrated that the restoration of superconductivity gaps in the immediate vicinity of the interface is governed by two length scales: the first one diverges at critical temperature T (c) , while the second one diverges at T (c+)< T (c) . By moving away from the boundary, the temperature dependencies of characteristic lengths change so that singularity at T (c+) becomes removed in the bulk by arbitrary weak interband coupling. The asymptotes for the spatial behavior of gaps have been found analytically near the surface and approaching the bulk state.</p
