We consider the behaviour of the fluctuating specific heat and conductivity in the vicinity of the upper critical field line for a two-band superconductor. Multiple-band effects are pronounced when the bands have very different coherence lengths. The transition to superconductive state is mainly determined by the properties of the rigid condensate of the strong band, while the weak band with a large coherence length of the Cooper pairs causes the nonlocality in fluctuation behaviour and break down of the simple Ginzburg-Landau picture. As expected, the multiple-band electronic structure does not change the functional forms of dominating divergencies of the fluctuating corrections when the magnetic field approaches the upper critical field. The temperature dependence of the coefficients, however, is modified. The large in-plane coherence length sets the field scale at which the upper critical field has upward curvature. The amplitude of fluctuations and fluctuation width enhances at this field scale due to reduction of the effective z-axis coherence length. We also observe that the apparent transport transition displaces to lower temperatures with respect to the thermodynamic transition. Even though this effect exists already in a single-band case at sufficiently high fields, it may be strongly enhanced in multiband materials.

From study of the Kosterlitz-Thouless-Berezinskii (KTB) transition in the superfluid density, n_s(T), of ultrathin c-axis oriented YBa_{2}Cu_{3}O_{7-delta} (YBCO) films, we find that interlayer coupling is unexpectedly strong. The KTB transition occu rs at a high temperature, as if the films were isotropic rather than quasi-two-dimensional. This result agrees with a comparison of the superfluid density of YBCO with Bi_{2}Sr_{2}CaCu_{2}O_{8} and with numerical simulations of Josephson junction arrays, and challenges the thermal phase fluctuation interpretation of critical behavior near T_c in YBCO.
We present a microscopic study of the behavior of the order parameters near boundaries of a two-band superconducting material, described by the standard tight-binding Bardeen-Cooper-Schrieffer model. We find superconducting surface states. The relati ve difference between bulk and surface critical temperatures is a nontrivial function of the interband coupling strength. For superconductors with weak interband coupling, boundaries induce variations of the gaps with the presence of multiple length scales, despite non-zero interband Josephson coupling.
We report neutron inelastic scattering measurements on polycrystalline LaFePO and Sr2ScO3FeP, two members of the iron phosphide families of superconductors. No evidence is found for any magnetic fluctuations in the spectrum of either material in the energy and wavevector ranges probed. Special attention is paid to the wavevector at which spin-density-wave-like fluctuations are seen in other iron-based superconductors. We estimate that the magnetic signal, if present, is at least a factor of four (Sr2ScO3FeP) or seven (LaFePO) smaller than in the related iron arsenide and chalcogenide superconductors. These results suggest that magnetic fluctuations are not as influential on the electronic properties of the iron phosphide systems as they are in other iron-based superconductors.
Pair density wave superconductivity constitutes a novel electronic condensate proposed to be realized in certain unconventional superconductors. Establishing its potential existence is important for our fundamental understanding of superconductivity in correlated materials. Here we compute the dynamical magnetic susceptibility in the presence of a pair density wave ordered state, and study its fingerprints on the spin-wave spectrum including the neutron resonance. In contrast to the standard case of d-wave superconductivity, we show that the pair density wave phase exhibits neither a spin-gap nor a magnetic resonance peak, in agreement with a recent neutron scattering experiment on underdoped La$_{1.905}$Ba$_{0.095}$CuO$_4$ [Z. Xu et al., Phys. Rev. Lett. 113, 177002 (2014)].
A model of a clean two-band s-wave superconductor with cylindrical Fermi surfaces, different Fermi velocities v_{1,2}, and a general 2x2 coupling matrix V_{alpha beta} is used to study the order parameter distribution in vortex lattices. The Eilenber ger weak coupling formalism is used to calculate numerically the spatial distributions of the pairing amplitudes Delta_1_ and Delta_2_ of the two bands for vortices parallel to the Fermi cylinders. For generic values of the interband coupling V_{12}, it is shown that, independently of the couplings V_{alpha beta}, of the ratio v_1 /v_2, of the temperature, and the applied field, the length scales of spatial variation of Delta_1 and of Delta_2 are the same within the accuracy of our calculations. The only exception from this single length-scale behavior is found for V_{12} --> 0, i.e., for nearly decoupled bands.
