Experiments revealed that the magnetic response of superconducting materials that are close to the interchange between type I and type II may be very different from either of the two standard types [1,2]. The interval of such non-conventional behavior, referred to as the inter-type superconductivity, is rather small in traditional materials but can be considerably enlarged in non-conventional multi-band superconductors such as in MgB2 [2]. Theoretical description of this interval requires an approach beyond the traditional Ginzburg-Landau theory. In our work we investigate inter-type superconductors within the framework of the extended Ginzburg-Landau theory [3].
Using this approach we demonstrated a general enlargement tendency for the inter-type domain in multi-band superconductors, especially when one of the contributing bands is shallow. In order to explain the appearance of non-conventional mixed states we studied details of the vortex-vortex interaction, in particular the crossover between the monotonic and the non-monotonic interaction.
