| contents | The problem of a thin superconducting film in a parallel magnetic field, first discussed in the classical paper by Ginzburg and Landau for temperatures close to the critical, is revisited with the help of the microscopic BCS theory for arbitrary temperatures taking pair-breaking and transport scattering into account. While confirming experimental findings of the $T_c$ enhancement by the magnetic field, we find that the transport scattering pushes the phase transition curve to higher fields and higher temperatures for nearly all practical scattering rates. Still, the $T_c$ enhancement disappears in the dirty limit. We also consider intriguing changes, such as re-entrant superconductivity, caused to the phase boundary by pair-breaking magnetic ions spread on one of the film faces. These features await experimental verification. |
