abstract = {We study the thermal conductivity in disordered s-wave
superconductors. Expanding on previous works for normal
metals, we develop a formalism that tackles particle
diffusion as well as the weak localization (WL) and weak
antilocalization (WAL) effects focusing on the
two-dimensional case. Using a Green's functions diagrammatic
technique, which takes into account the superconducting
nature of the system by working in Nambu space, we identify
the system's low-energy modes, the diffuson and the
cooperon. The timescales that characterize the diffusive
regime are energy dependent; this is in contrast to the
normal state, where the relevant timescale is the impurity
scattering time τe, independent of energy. The energy
dependence introduces a novel energy scale ɛ∗, which for
dirty superconductors (τeΔ≪1, with Δ the gap) is given
by ɛ∗=√Δ/τe. From the diffusive behavior of the
low-energy modes, we obtain the WL correction to the thermal
conductivity. We give explicit expressions in two
dimensions. We determine the regimes in which the correction
depends manifestly on ɛ∗ and propose an optimal regime to
verify our results in an experiment. In particular, we find
a parametrically large reduction of the weak localization
correction in a dirty superconductor, in comparison with its
value in the normal state, when the temperature is lowered
by $10\%$ below the transition temperature.},
