Validity of Anderson's theorem for s-wave superconductors
Abstract
We investigate validity of Anderson's theorem (AT) for disordered s-wave superconductors in a negative U Hubbard model with random on-site energies, . The superconducting critical temperature, , is calculated in the coherent potential approximation (CPA) as a function of impurity concentration, , the random potentials for different band filling. In contradiction to Anderson's theorem, we found that is dramatically sensitive with respect to and . Our results shows that for low impurity concentrations and weak on-site energies, , the AT is valid, while in the strong scattering limit even for low impurity concentration, is very small with respect to the clean system and by increasing it is completely suppressed, hence AT is violated in this regime.
