Abstract

We evaluate numerically the free energy of a strong-coupling superconductor with paramagnetic impurities in the model of Shiba and Rusinov. Our work is based on a recent formula for the free energy given by Yamamoto and Nagi. This formula is based on the same fundamental expression as used by Schossmann and Schachinger but without their simplfying approximations. Our results are numerically quite different from the previous ones. It is still concluded, however, that the thermodynamic critical field is very sensitive to the model chosen to describe the scattering.
