ABSTRACT
This research work focuses on the theoretical investigation of the upper critical magnetic field,
𝐻𝐶2 for superconductor SrFe2-xCoxAs2. In this research work, we used the Ginzburg-Landau
phenomenological theory. From the mathematical computations we performed, the effect of
coherence length, penetration depth and anisotropy in mass tensor on upper critical field are
considered using the model. Furthermore, the upper critical magnetic field of superconductor
SrFe2-xCoxAs2 depends on the angle measured from c-axis, normal to the layers. By using some
plausible experimental values in the obtained expressions, phase diagrams of the upper critical
magnetic field parallel ( ) //

increasing temperature and reach to zero at the critical temperature, TC and have maximum
values at T=0K. We also plotted the phase diagrams of the upper critical magnetic field, 𝐻𝐶2
versus the angle 𝜃. And also we performed the values of the upper critical magnetic field along

superconductor SrFe2-xCoxAs2. The results obtained in this research work are in agreement with
experimental observations.
