Effect of nonmagnetic and magnetic impurities on the specific heat jump in anisotropic superconductors

Effect of nonmagnetic and magnetic impurities on the specific heat jump in anisotropic superconductors

The specific-heat jump $\ensuremath{\Delta}C$ at a critical temperature ${T}_{c}$ in an anisotropic superconductor containing both potential and spin-flip scatterers is calculated within a weak-coupling mean-field approximation. It is shown that the presence of even a small amount of spin-flip scatterers in the sample leads to a drastic change in the …
