Abstract

In this study, the temperature dependence of anisotropy parameter of critical current density for LiFeAs superconductor is calculated. The two-band Ginzburg-Landau theory, generalized for the anisotropic effective mass in different bands, is utilized. This paper reveals that in the absence of external magnetic field, two-band theory is able to give analytical expression for the temperature dependence of anisotropy parameter of critical current density. The results of microscopical simulations for Fermi surface of LiFeAs compound are taken into account during the calculations. It is shown that such a theory is in qualitative agreement with the experimental data.
