Electron-Phonon Interaction and Ultrasonic Attenuation in the Ruthenate and Cuprate superconductors

AbstractThis article derives an electron-phonon interaction suitable for interpreting ultrasonic attenuation measurements in the ruthenate and cuprate superconductors. The huge anisotropy found experimentally (Lupien et al., 2001) in Sr2RuO4 in the normal state is accounted for in terms of the layered square-lattice structure of Sr2RuO4, and the dominant contribution to the attenuation in Sr2RuO4 is found to be due to electrons in the gamma band. The experimental data in the superconducting state is found to be inconsistent with vertical lines nodes in the gap in either (100) or (110) planes. Also, a general method, based on the use of symmetry, is developed to allow for the analysis of ultrasonic attenuation experiments in superconductors in which the electronic band structure is complicated or not known. Our results, both for the normal-state anisotropy, and relating to the positions of the gap nodes in the superconducting state, are different from those obtained from analyses using a more traditional model for the electron-phonon interaction in terms of an isotropic electron stress tensor. Also, a brief discussion of the ultrasonic attenuation in UPt3 is given.
