Effect of paramagnetic fluctuations on superconductivity in ferromagnetic superconductors

The superconducting transition temperature Tsub(c) is calculated for ferromagnetic superconductors taking into account explicitly elastic scattering between electrons and paramagnetic fluctuations. Depending on the strength and range of the Heisenberg interaction between localized magnetic moments, the superconducting gap may or may not remain finite at the onset of long range ferromagnetic ordering. In a dirty system, the mean free path reduces the depairing effect of fluctuations. The Heisenberg interaction is assumed to be of other than RKKY origin. (author)
