Abstract: | A theoretical study is performed on the entropy Ss and the spin susceptibility s near the upper critical field Hc2 for s-wave type-II superconductors with arbitrary impurity concentrations. The changes of these quantities through Hc2 may be expressed as [Ss(T,B)–Ss(T,0)]/[Sn(T)–Ss(T,0)] = 1–αS(1–B/Hc2)=(B/Hc2)αS, for example, where B is the average flux density and Sn denotes entropy in the normal state. It is found that the slopes S and at T = 0 are identical, connected directly with the zero-energy density of states, and vary from 1.72 in the dirty limit to 0.5–0.6 in the clean limit. This mean-free-path dependence of αS and αx at T = 0 is quantitatively the same as that of the slope αp(T = 0) for the flux-flow resistivity studied previously. The result suggests that Ss(B) and Xs(B) near T = 0 are convex downward (upward) in the dirty (clean) limit, deviating substantially from the linear behavior B/Hc2. The specific-heat jump at Hc2 also shows fairly large mean-free-path dependence. |
