Phys. Rev. B 60, 7465–7472 (1999)Influence of order-parameter nonhomogeneities on low-temperature properties of superconductorsReceived 16 December 1998; revised 18 March 1999; published in the issue dated 1 September 1999 The low-temperature asymptotics of thermodynamic and transport properties of superconductors with mesoscopic nonhomogeneities are analyzed. For the conventional s-wave superconductors it is shown that a spread of superconducting gap values leads to the power-law dependences for temperatures much lower than Tc. The implications of the theory for superconductors with different pairing symmetries, namely, A15 compounds and high-Tc oxides, are discussed. © 1999 The American Physical Society URL:
