Description

The effect of the scattering potential of nonmagnetic or magnetic impurities on the critical superconducting temperature T/sub c/ is considered for superconductors with partial or total dielectrization of the electron spectrum. It is shown that T/sub c/ increases with increase of the nonmagnetic impurity density, i.e., the Anderson theorem does not hold for such systems. Scattering by magnetic impurities lowers T/sub c/. The decrease, however, is weaker than in ordinary superconductors, owing to the presence of a dielectric gap Σ on the Fermi surface
