Magnetism versus superconductivity: molecular-field theory

Journal Article · · Phys. Rev., B: Condens. Matter; (United States)
Within the context of molecular-field theory we analyze the thermodynamics of magnetic superconductors over the whole (T,H) plane. The conditions for the coexistence of a long-range magnetic order (including ferromagnetic order) and superconductivity are given. Specific heat and static susceptibility are calculated and anomalies associated with the occurrence of a coexistence phase are observed. Good qualitative agreement with experiments is found and several predictions are made.
