Anomalous temperature dependence of the order parameter of a superconductor with weakly correlated impurities

Superconductivity 2015-05-20 v2

Abstract

It is shown that weak correlations between the pair-breaking impurities in superconductors influence a temperature dependence of the order parameter within the Ginzburg and Landau region if the correlation radius of impurities R is greater than the coherence length of the superconductor ξ0\xi_0.Dependence of the square of the average order parameter on a temperature difference TcTT_c-T changes its slope in a region \xi_0\sqrt{T_c/(T_c-T)\sim R . Influence of correlations on other thermodynamic properties of superconductors is discussed too.
