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.

Altmetric calculates a score based on the online attention an article receives. Each coloured thread in the circle represents a different type of online attention. The number in the centre is the Altmetric score. Social media and mainstream news media are the main sources that calculate the score. Reference managers such as Mendeley are also tracked but do not contribute to the score. Older articles often score higher because they have had more time to get noticed. To account for this, Altmetric has included the context data for other articles of a similar age.
