Superconductivity in layered materials with intralayer and interlayer couplings

Journal Article · · Phys. Rev. B: Condens. Matter; (United States)
A study of the superconductivity of layered materials is reported. We treat very thin layers and assume two interactions, intralayer and interlayer. A two-component Ginzburg-Landau equation is derived taking into account two types of order parameters. T/sub c/ is raised by the cooperation of the two interactions. H/sub c//sub 2/ shows anisotropic behavior not only due to the anisotropy of the one-electron state but also due to the anisotropy of the pairing interaction.
