Breakdown of Migdal's theorem and intensity of electron-phonon coupling in high-Tc superconductors | | G. A. Ummarino

18 Oct 1997 | | Subject: | Superconductivity | cond-mat.supr-con | | Affiliation: | INFM-Dipartimento di Fisica, Politecnico di Torino, Torino, Italy | | Abstract: | In this article we quantify the possible effects of the breakdown of Migdal’s theorem on the electron-phonon (e-p) coupling constant, on the critical temperature and on the superconducting gap by examining different kinds of superconducting materials either with low and high critical temperature. We use the theoretical approach developed by Grimaldi, Pietronero and Strassler [PRB 52, 10516 & 10530 (1995)] on experimental data taken both from literature and from our recent break-junction tunneling experiments in Bi_2Sr_2CaCu_2O_{8+x} (BSCCO) [Physica C 275, 162 (1997) and cond-mat/9612220]. The results show that a large violation of the Migdal’s theorem (as in BSCCO) yields to a large increase of the observed e-p coupling constant and, in a first approximation and by direct solution of the Eliashberg equations, to large but different increases of Tc and gap. The same theory gives no modifications when applied to low-Tc conventional superconductors. In BSCCO, the renormalized values of the e-p coupling constant and of the ratio 2Delta/kTc (1.85 and 4.98, respectively) are compatible with a strong-coupling electron-phonon origin of superconductivity. | | Source: | arXiv, cond-mat/9710189 | | Services: | Forum | Review | PDF | Favorites | |
