Temperature dependence of the upper critical field H-c2(T), lower critical field H-c1(T) and thermodynamic magnetic field H-cm(T) are studied in the vicinity of T-c using a two-band Ginzburg-Landau (GL) theory. The results are shown to be in a good agreement with experimental data for the superconducting magnesium diboride (MgB2) and nonmagnetic borocarbides LuNi2B2C (YNi2B2C). In addition, two-band GL theory was applied for the calculation of specific heat jump, which is smaller than in single-band CL theory. Peculiarities of Little-Parks effect in two-band GL theory are studied also. It is shown that the quantization of the magnetic flux and the relation between surface magnetic field H-c3(T) and upper critical field H-c2(T) are the same as in single band GL theory.
