Abstract

We have studied the effect of static and dynamic pair breaking on the normalized-specific-heat jump of a superconductor. We find that in contrast to the static impurity case, dynamic pair breaking enhances the specific-heat jump. We have employed functional-derivative techniques in order to gain some understanding of this result.
