Abstract

Numerous two-dimensional superconductors exhibit a characteristic dome-shaped dependence of the critical temperature Tc on the carrier density. The reduction of the critical temperature with increasing charge carrier density on the overdoped side of this dome is frequently related to scattering arising from conduction in multiple bands. Multiband superconductivity can be resolved by tunneling spectroscopy, but the interpretation of spectroscopic data can be ambiguous. Superconductivity in multiple bands is also expected to affect the temperature dependence of the upper critical field Hc2 of the superconductor. We have therefore measured the temperature dependence of Hc2 across the dome of the LaAlO3−SrTiO3 interface superconductor and found Hc2(T) to be linear across the entire dome. This result places constraints on scenarios of multiband pairing in this interface superconductor.
