Abstract

In the framework of the model describing a superconductor with a dielectric gap on the Fermi-surface sections, the equation for the upper critical magnetic field Hc2(T) in the dirty limit is obtained and solved. It is shown that due to the electron spectrum dielectrization, the quantities Hc2(0) and & increase and the curvature & may become positive. These results are in good agreement with experimental data for a number of substances with charge- and spin-density waves, e.g., Chevrel phases, layered transition-metal dichalcogenides, antiferromagnetic organic metals (TMTSF)2X, Cr1−xRex alloys (where TMTSF is an abbreviation for tetramethyltetraselenafulvalene), and the heavy-fermion superconductor URu2Si2.
