Abstract
We present a theory of the coexistence of superconductivity and antiferromagnetism. The diagonal part of the interaction between the magnetic ions and the conduction electrons is included with the electronic kinetic energies, to give new “magnetic Bloch states”, in which electrons of opposite spin are also spatially displaced. This leads to a reduction in the superconducting pairing strength, linear in the exchange strength and the staggered magnetization. Agreement with experiment is good for DyMo6S8 and TbMo6S8.

However, these authors start from a BCS Hamiltonian, rather than from (1), and therefore fail to find the correct effect of anti-ferromagnetism on the electron-phonon interaction. Moreover, Nass et al. assume further that the Cooper pairing of an electron is affected only when both k and k + Q are within a BCS cutoff from the Fermi surface.
cf. H. Fröhlich [Proc. Roy. Soc. A215, 291 (195g)]. Note that the electron mass renormalization is determined by g2 + g2 = g2 for isotropic electrons.

Machida et al., loc.cit. also find a linear reduction, but only after making the restrictive assumption that Q= 2KF
