Abstract:
The electron thermal conductivity of a two-band superconductor with an impurity is found.
Allowance is made for the energy bands overlapping in the neighborhood of the Fermi level
and processes of intra- and interband scattering of electrons on impurities. It is shown
that, in general, the contributions of the individual bands are not additive because of interband
scattering. As a special case, the expressions contain the well-known result for a
single-band isotropic model. The electron thermal conductivity is also calculated for a
normal two-band metal.
