Abstract
The present status of the experimental investigation on the upper critical field Hc2 in cubic materials is reviewed. Although a complete quantitative correspondence with theories based on nonlocality is not possible because of unknown parameters involving Fermi surface anisotropy and the anisotropic attractive interaction, experiments up to date are in general agreement with the predicted dependence of anisotropy on temperature and impurity scattering. Investigation on the anisotropic temperature dependence of Hc2 at low temperatures, the average critical field at absolute zero and anisotropy of the lower critical field is also briefly reviewed.
