Abstract  The origins of superconductivity and pairing symmetry of order parameters are still controversial problems for FeSe thin films up to date. Under the Neumann boundary conditions, the electromagnetic properties of this system are investigated using the two-band Ginzburg-Landau theory. We calculate the temperature dependence of upper critical field in arbitrary direction and critical supercurrent density through the FeSe film. It is revealed that the normalized upper critical field is independent of the film thickness and all of our theoretical results are in accordance with the experimental data. These thus strongly indicate the existence of two-gap s-wave superconductivity in this material.
Keywords:  Ginzburg-Landau theory      two-band s-wave superconductivity      FeSe film
