What is Exceeding the Chandrasekhar-Clogston limit in flat-band superconductors: A multiband strong-coupling approach about?

Hybrid systems of superconductors and magnets display several intriguing properties, both from a fundamental physics point of view and with practical applications. Promising applications in superconducting spintronics motivate a search for systems where superconductivity can survive larger in-plane critical magnetic fields than the conventional limit. The Chandrasekhar-Clogston (CC) limit applies to thin-film conventional superconductors with in-plane magnetic fields such that orbital effects may be ignored. For a magnetic field strength comparable to the superconducting gap at zero temperature and zero field, a spin-split normal state attains lower free energy than the superconducting state. A multiband superconductor with a flat band placed just below the Fermi surface has been shown to surpass the CC limit using weak-coupling theory. Since the dimensionless coupling determining the critical temperature scales with the density of states, it is natural to anticipate corrections from strong-coupling theory in flat-band systems, owing to the large density of states of the flat bands. We derive Eliashberg equations and the free energy for a multiband superconductor in a magnetic fiel
