Description
The exact symmetries and form of the cooper pair wave function in many unconventional superconductors remains subject of ongoing debate. A possible way to shed some more light upon the matter is by explicitly computing thermodynamic properties given a functional form of the order parameter as well as a microscopic description of the normal state of a material. One such quantity is the upper critical field $H_{c2}$.
We develop a numerical pipeline interfacing between a normal-state description including a microscopic interaction and thermodynamic quantities such as the upper critical field. This allows us to draw conclusions on the microscopic structure of an unconventional superconductor considering its experimental $H_{c2}$ signature.
