Thermal Conductivity of Strong-Coupling Superconductors

Abstract
We have calculated the electronic thermal conductivity of Pb using realistic (derived from tunneling) kernels in the Eliashberg-gap equations which we have solved for several temperatures below and near TC. The computations are based on the theory of Ambegaokar and Tewordt. Complete results are also obtained for the case of Hg. A rough evaluation of thermal conductivity for In and Tl is also included.
