We studied $ab$-plane transport properties in single crystals of the superconductor $beta$-FeSe up to 16 T. In the normal state, below 90 K, the crystals present a strongly anisotropic positive magnetoresistance that becomes negligible above that temperature. In the superconducting state (T$_c$=8.87(5) K) the upper critical field anisotropy $H$$_{c2}$$parallel$$ab$ / $H$$_{c2}$$parallel$$c$ changes with temperature and the angular dependence of the dissipation for fixed temperatures and fields reflects a strongly anisotropic behavior. Our results make evident that multiband effects are needed to describe the measured transport properties. We model the magnetoresistance and upper critical field behavior with a two-band model showing that the diffusivities ratio parameter remains unchanged going from the normal to the superconducting state.

Detailed measurements of the in-plane resistivity were performed in a high-quality Ba(Fe$_{1-x}$Co$_{x}$)$_2$As$_2$ ($x=0.065$) single crystal, in magnetic fields up to 9 T and with different orientations $theta$ relative to the crystal $c$ axis. A significant $rho(T)_{H,theta}$ rounding is observed just above the superconducting critical temperature $T_c$ due to Cooper pairs created by superconducting fluctuations. These data are analyzed in terms of a generalization of the Aslamazov-Larkin approach, that extends its applicability to high reduced-temperatures and magnetic fields. This method allows us to carry out a criterion-independent determination of the angular dependence of the upper critical field, $H_{c2}(theta)$. In spite of the relatively small anisotropy of this compound, it is found that $H_{c2}(theta)$ presents a significant deviation from the single-band 3D anisotropic Ginzburg-Landau (3D-aGL) approach, particularly for large $theta$ (typically above $sim60^o$). These results are interpreted in terms of the multiband nature of these materials, in contrast with other proposals for similar $H_{c2}(theta)$ anomalies. Our results are also consistent with an effective anisotropy factor almost temperature independent near $T_c$, a result that differs from the ones obtained by using a single-band model.
Superconductivity in the type-II Weyl semimetal candidate MoTe$_2$ has attracted much attention due to the possible realization of topological superconductivity. Under applied pressure, the superconducting transition temperature is significantly enhanced, while the structural transition from the high-temperature 1$T$ phase to the low-temperature $T_d$ phase is suppressed. Hence, applying pressure allows us to investigate the dimensionality of superconductivity in 1$T$-MoTe$_2$. We have performed a detailed study of the magnetotransport properties and upper critical field $H_{c2}$ of MoTe$_2$ under pressure. The magnetoresistance (MR) and Hall coefficient of MoTe$_2$ are found to be decreasing with increasing pressure. In addition, the Kohlers scalings for the MR data above $sim$11 kbar show a change of exponent whereas the data at lower pressure can be well scaled with a single exponent. These results are suggestive of a Fermi surface reconstruction when the structure changes from the $T_d$ to 1$T$ phase. The $H_{c2}$-temperature phase diagram constructed at 15 kbar, with $Hparallel ab$ and $Hperp ab$, can be satisfactorily described by the Werthamer-Helfand-Hohenberg model with the Maki parameters $alpha sim$ 0.77 and 0.45, respectively. The relatively large $alpha$ may stem from a small Fermi surface and a large effective mass of semimetallic MoTe$_2$. The angular dependence of $H_{c2}$ at 15 kbar can be well fitted by the Tinkham model, suggesting the two-dimensional nature of superconductivity in the high-pressure 1$T$ phase.
We present measurements of the superconducting critical temperature Tc and upper critical field Hc2 as a function of pressure in the transition metal dichalcogenide 2H-NbS2 up to 20 GPa. We observe that Tc increases smoothly from 6K at ambient pressure to about 8.9K at 20GPa. This range of increase is comparable to the one found previously in 2H-NbSe2. The temperature dependence of the upper critical field Hc2(T) of 2H-NbS2 varies considerably when increasing the pressure. At low pressures, Hc2(0) decreases, and at higher pressures both Tc and Hc2(0) increase simultaneously. This points out that there are pressure induced changes of the Fermi surface, which we analyze in terms of a simplified two band approach.
We investigated the upper critical magnetic field, $H_{c}$, of a superconductor-ferromagnet (S/F) bilayer of Nb/Cu$_{41}$Ni$_{59}$ and a Nb film (as reference). We obtained the dependence of $H_{cperp}$ and $H_{cparallel}$ (perpendicular and parallel to the film plane, respectively) on the temperature, $T$, by measurements of the resistive transitions and the dependence on the inclination angle, $theta$, of the applied field to the film plane, by non-resonant microwave absorption. Over a wide range, $H_{cperp}$ and $H_{cparallel}$ show the temperature dependence predicted by the Ginzburg-Landau theory. At low temperatures and close to the critical temperature deviations are observed. While $H_{c}(theta)$ of the Nb film follows the Tinkham prediction for thin superconducting films, the Nb/Cu$_{41}$Ni$_{59}$-bilayer data exhibit deviations when $theta$ approaches zero. We attribute this finding to the additional anisotropy induced by the quasi-one-dimensional Fulde-Ferrell-Larkin-Ovchinnikov (FFLO)-like state and propose a new vortex structure in S/F bilayers, adopting the segmentation approach from high-temperature superconductors.
The electrical resistivity (Rxx) and Hall resistivity (Rxy) of LaFeAsO1-xFx have been measured over a wide fluorine doping range 0 =< x =< 0.14 using 60 T pulsed magnets. While the superconducting phase diagram (Tc, x) displays the classic dome-shaped structure, we find that the resistive upper critical field (Hc2) increases monotonically with decreasing fluorine concentration, with the largest Hc2 >= 75 T for x = 0.05. This is reminiscent of the composition dependence in high-Tc cuprates and might correlate with opening of a pseudo-gap in the underdoped region. Further, the temperature dependence of Hc2(T) for superconducting samples can be understood in terms of multi-band superconductivity. Rxy data for non-superconducting samples show non-linear field dependence, which is also consistent with a multi-carrier scenario.
