The relation between thed-wave superconducting gapΔ0and the specific heat obtained with the Volovik effect is used to determine the upper critical fieldHc2as doping function, for high-temperature superconductors. A two-components model withd-wave symmetry, within the BCS framework, is introduced to describe the superconducting state. Generalized Fermi surface topologies are used in order to increase the density of states at the Fermi level, allowing the high-Tcvalues observed. The electron-phonon interaction is considered the most relevant mechanism for the high-Tccuprates, where the available phonon energy is provided by the half-breathing modes. The energy gap valuesΔ0calculated with this model are introduced to describe the variation of the upper critical fieldHc2as function of doping, forLa2-xSrxCuO4.

The behavior of the perpendicular upper critical field in high T c superconductors is studied theoretically. It is shown, within proximity effect theory, that a substantial deviation from intrinsically linear behavior of [Formula: see text] near T c can occur when imperfections exist in single crystals. A positive curvature arises if there is a competition of superconductivity of two different superconducting phases — the bulk and the defect — in the specimen.

We study vortex lattice structure of high temperature superconductors by using the Ginzburg–Landau model. The structure of the vortex lattice is oblique at the temperatures well below the transition temperature Tc, where the mixed s–d state is expected to have the lowest energy. Whereas, very close to Tc, the dx2-y2 wave is slightly lower in energy, and a triangular vortex lattice recovers. The coexistence and the coupling between the s- and d-waves account for the upward curvature of the upper critical field curve HC2(T).

AbstractThe upper critical field of a cuprate high-temperature superconductor, La1.84Sr0.16CuO4, was investigated by high-frequency self-resonant contactless electrical conductivity measurements in magnetic fields up to 102 T. An irreversible transition was observed at 85 T (T = 4.2 K), defined as the upper critical field. The temperature-dependent upper critical field was argued on the basis of the Werthamer-Helfand-Hohenberg theory. The Pauli-limiting pair-breaking process with a small contribution of the spin-orbit coupling explained the first-order phase transition exhibiting a hysteresis observed at low temperatures.
