✦ Synopsis

Khalatinikov's kinetic equation for an anisotropic superconductor is derived via a Green's function technique, for a case in which the electrons in a weak-coupling anisotropic superconductor are scattered by non-magnetic impurities. This derivation is valid in weak-impurity limit (d > F), and when external perturbations are slowlyvarying in space-time. z(f) = -F nI j 1 VkR, I2 k (1 + 'k'k'E~E~kAk') 6(Ek -Eka)(fk -fk,) dr, * Research supported in part by ARPA SD-131.
