Superconductivity of Quasi-One and Quasi-Two Dimensional Tight-Binding Electrons in Magnetic Field

The upper critical field $H_{c2}(T)$ of the tight-binding electrons in the three-dimensional lattice is investigated. The electrons make Cooper pairs between the eigenstates with the same energy in the strong magnetic field. The transition lines in the quasi-one dimensional case are shown to deviate from the previously obtained results where the hopping matrix elements along the magnetic field are neglected. In the absence of the Pauli pair breaking the transition temperature $T_c(H)$ of the quasi-two dimensional electrons is obtained to oscillationally increase as the magnetic field becomes large and reaches to $T_c(0)$ in the strong field as in the quasi-one dimensional case.
