Abstract
The problem of the normal-superconducting phase boundary for films in a parallel magnetic field, discussed in the classical paper by Ginzburg and Landau for temperatures close to the critical, is revisited with the help of the microscopic BCS theory for arbitrary temperatures taking pair-breaking and transport scattering into account. Although confirming experimental findings of the Tc enhancement by the magnetic field, we find that the transport scattering pushes the phase transition curve to higher fields and higher temperatures for nearly all practical scattering rates. Still, the Tc enhancement disappears in the dirty limit. We also consider intriguing changes, such as reentrant superconductivity, caused to the phase boundary by pair-breaking magnetic ions spread on one of the film faces. These features await experimental verification.
