| Abstract: | In this Letter, we study the effect of nonmagnetic impurities on two-band superconductors by deriving the corresponding Ginzburg-Landau equation. Depending on the strength of (impurity-induced) interband scattering, we find that there are two distinctive regions where the superconductors behave very differently. In the strong impurity-induced interband scattering regime Tc ≪ τt-1, where τt∼ mean lifetime an electron stays in one band, the two-band superconductor behaves as an effective one-band dirty superconductor. In the other limit Tc ≥ τt-1, the dirty two-band superconductor is described by a network of frustrated two-band superconductor grains connected by Josephson tunneling junctions, and the Anderson theorem breaks down. |
