Fluctuation corrections to the specific heat near Tc of a type-II superconductor in a strong magnetic field in the presence of nonmagnetic impurities are calculated by the use of the supersymmetric formalism. The case of a Poisson distribution of impurities is considered. Smearing of the phase trans

✦ Synopsis
The effect of fluctuations on the resistive transitions in magnetic field is analyzed in the frame work of the scaling procedure obtained theoretically by Ullah and Dorsey in two types of superconductors: in the cubic perovskite oxide Ba 1Àx K x BiO 3 with a relatively high T c $ 23 K and in the low-T c but quasi two-dimensional misfit-layer compound (LaSe) 1.14 (NbSe 2 ). In both cases the scaling is applicable in a significant range of magnetic fields around H c2 . The temperature dependence of the upper critical magnetic fields H c2 determined from this analysis reveals a classical form for the type-II superconductor in contrast to a direct determination of H c2 (T) from the resistive transitions but in a good agreement with independent determination by the non-dissipative methods.

The ambient-pressure superconductor u-(EDT-~F) [Ni(dmit),], which is a charge transfer salt formed between EDT-ITF and Ni(dmit),, exhibits a superconducting transition at 1.3 K and a phase transition around 20 K featuring a characteristic resistance hump. We estimated that the room-temperature elec
