Abstract

We study the in-plane critical magnetic field of two-dimensional Ising superconducting systems and propose the microscopic calculation for these disordered two-dimensional superconducting systems with or without inversion symmetry. Protected by certain specific spin-orbit interaction which polarizes the electron spin to the out-of-plane direction, the in-plane critical fields largely surpass the Pauli limit and show remarkable upturn in the zero-temperature limit. The impurity scattering and Rashba spin-orbit interaction, treated on equal footing in the microscopic framework, both weaken the critical field but in qualitatively different manners. The microscopic theory is consistent with recent experimental results in stanene and Pb superconducting ultrathin films.
