We present a phenomenological calculation of the equilibrium upper critical field Hc2 in layered superconductors. We find that Hc2(T) has positive curvature near Tc, but becomes linear further away, as a result of a proximity effect between neighboring superconducting and nonsuperconducting layers, for low-Tc and high -Tc superconductors alike. © 1989 The American Physical Society.
