Superconductivity in Simple Metals

Abstract: This paper reports an attempt to calculate directly from normal-state data the superconducting properties of a number of simple metals. Information about the lattice vibrations is taken from a Born-von Karman force-constant fit to the dispersion curves measured by means of inelastic neutron scattering. The matrix element of the electron-ion potential, for electrons scattering at the Fermi surface, is taken from pseudopotential theory. From this information we evaluate the electron-phonon part entering the Elia… Show more

“…Another approach, the Eliashberg formalism, is based on the one-electron Green's function, and here too superconductivity is enhanced when umklapp scattering is introduced [13]. However, in this formalism, which is non-variational and does not involve a trial function, the physics of pair scattering and interference effects may be manifest in a manner different from that in the BCS variational approach.…”

“…Success of the McMillan procedure immediately led to an upsurge of further successful research activity, see [8] and references therein. The obvious next move was to evaluate α 2 F (ν) from first principles and at this stage difficulties started to emerge.…”
