Abstract:
The densities of electron states of superconducting transition metals with nonmagnetic impurity are calculated in the whole range of frequencies in the limiting cases
$\alpha_2\ll1$,
$\alpha_1\sim 1$ and
$\alpha_1\gg 1$,
$\alpha_2\sim 1$ for
$\zeta=\Gamma_1/\Gamma_2<1$. Under these assumptions concerning the parameters
$\alpha_n$ and
$\zeta$, expressions are obtained for the energy gap
$\omega_g$ and a detailed investigation is made of the densities of electron states
$n_n(\omega)$ of both bands as functions of the frequency and impurity concentration. It is shown that the density of states
$n_1(\omega)$ in the case
$\alpha_2\ll1$,
$\alpha_1\sim 1$ has two maxima of the same order, one near
$\omega_g$ and the other near
$\Gamma_2$. The density of states
$n_2(\omega)$ has a maximum that is an order of magnitude greater than that of
$n_1(\omega)$ in the neighborhood of
$\Gamma_2$. In the case of a high impurity concentration (
$\alpha_1\gg 1$,
$\alpha_2\sim 1$) the energy gap comes close to the order parameter
$\Gamma_2$. It is assumed here that
$\zeta=\Gamma_1/\Gamma_2<1$. The maxima of the densities of electron states of both bands,
$n_n(\omega)$, are obtained at frequencies near the parameter
$\Gamma_2$.
