18 Apr 2003 | | Journal: | Solid State Commun. 127, 271 (2003) | | Subject: | Superconductivity; Materials Science | cond-mat.supr-con cond-mat.mtrl-sci | | Abstract: | We have studied the changes in the electronic structure and the superconducting transition temperature T_c of Mg(B_{1-x}C_{x})_{2} alloys as a function of x with 0leq xleq 0.3. Our density-functional-based approach uses coherent-potential approximation to describe the effects of disorder, Gaspari-Gyorffy formalism to estimate the electron-phonon matrix elements and Allen-Dynes equation to calculate T_c in these alloys. We find that the changes in the electronic structure of Mg(B_{1-x}C_{x})_{2} alloys, especially near the Fermi energy E_F, come mainly from the outward movement of E_F with increasing x, and the effects of disorder in the B plane are small. In particular, our results show a sharp decline in both B and C p_{x(y)} states for 0.2leq xleq 0.3. Our calculated variation in T_{c} of Mg(B_{1-x}C_{x})_{2} alloys is in qualitative agreement with the experiments. | | Source: | arXiv, cond-mat/0304436 | | Services: | Forum | Review | PDF | Favorites | |
