Abstract: | We present calculations for the influence of fluctuations in high field superconductors where the critical field is limited by Pauli paramagnetism. Due to the fact that the critical field at the second order phase transition point as function of temperature may have a maximum atT≠0 the additional conductivity due to fluctuations may have a nonmonotonic temperature dependence. This way we can account for recent experimental findings by Tedrow, Meservey and Schwartz. We also calculate the additional tunneling density of states due to fluctuations. Under proper conditions it exhibits a maximum at zero frequency like in the gapless regime. Finally we show that our findings of a nonmonotonic resistivity should also apply to superconductors containing magnetic impurities such as La3-x Gd x In in an external field. |
