Stochastic processes and thermal fluctuations in superconductors

The generalized Langevin equation, which is derived by H. Mori,as a general, microscopic formulation of the stochastic theory of Brownian motions, is applied to evaluate the longitudinal attenuation rate of sound in weak-coupling, pure superconductors. In order to qualify the ultrasonic absorption a...
