Free-energy formula for a strong-coupling superconductor with Shiba-Rusinov impurities

Journal Article · · Phys. Rev. B: Condens. Matter; (United States)

We derive a formula for calculating the free-energy difference between the superconducting and the normal states of a strong-coupling superconductor with localized states within the gap (induced by magnetic impurities). The present formula is a generalization of the one given by Bardeen and Stephen (for the electron-phonon systems) to include the effect of Shiba-Rusinov impurities.
