Abstract
Recent experiments on the iron-based superconductor FeSe in a high magnetic field have suggested the presence of both the fluctuation-induced vortex liquid regime and a Fulde-Ferrell-Larkin-Ovchinnikov (FFLO) vortex lattice. To get a general picture of the magnetic phase diagram in type II superconductors with strong superconducting (SC) fluctuation and strong paramagnetic pair breaking (PPB) such as FeSe, the vortex lattice melting curve ${H}_{m}(T)$ is theoretically investigated in situations where a FFLO state is expected to occur. In general, PPB tends to narrow the vortex liquid regime intervening between ${H}_{c2}(T)$ and ${H}_{m}(T)$. In particular, the vortex liquid regime is found to rapidly shrink upon entering; by cooling, the temperature range in which the FFLO state with a periodic modulation parallel to the magnetic field is stable in mean-field theory. Based on the present results, the high-field SC phase diagrams of FeSe in the parallel and perpendicular field configurations are discussed.
