Kinetic Equations for Dirty Superconductors

  • Chapter

Part of the book series: NATO Advanced Study Institutes Series ((NSSB,volume 65))

Abstract

In this lecture, I will first derive from the Gorkov-Eliashberg theory a system of kinetic equations and then, I will show that these equations allow an adequate and convenient calculation of nonequilibrium phenomena in superconductors.
