Description

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
