Reentrant orbital effect against superconductivity in the quasi-two-dimensional superconductor NbS<sub>2</sub>

ORAL

Abstract

We derive integral equation for superconducting gap, which takes into account the quantum nature of electron motion in a

parallel magnetic field in a quasi-two-dimensional (Q2D) superconductor in the presence of a non-zero perpendicular field

component. By comparison of our theoretical results with the recent experimental data obtained on the NbS2, we show that the

orbital effect against superconductivity  partially destroys superconductivity in the so-called Ginzburg-Landau area of this

Q2D conductor, as expected. Nevertheless, at relatively high magnetic fields, H > 15 T, the orbital effect

starts to improve the Fulde-Ferrell-Larkin-Ovchinnikov phase in the NbS2, due to the quantum nature of electron motion in a

parallel magnetic field. In our opinion, this is the most clear demonstration that the orbital effect against superconductivity

in a parallel magnetic field has a reentrant nature.
