Abstract: (APS)
A rigorous gauge-invariant solution of the linearized Gor'kov equations is presented, yielding the complete temperature and electron-mean-free-path dependences of the upper critical magnetic field Hc2 of a bulk type-II superconductor. Comparison is made with previously known results in special cases, and it is pointed out that localized approximations such as the "dirty," or the Ginzburg-Landau, limits represent the leading term in an asymptotic rather than convergent, expansion.
