Abstract

The collective-mode spectrum for a layered superconductor is considered here. The Hamiltonian describes electrons in a metallic layer in the effective-mass approximation and the coupling of neighboring layers by a Josephson-type term. In this model, electrodynamic equations are obtained that are valid in the whole range of the nonmagnetic-impurities concentration. The velocity values of collective modes for two principal directions of the wave vector (along and across the superlattice axis) are found.
