An energy dependent electron-phonon interaction has been used in the BCS equation. This provides an exactly solvable analytic solution to the BCS equation for the superconducting transition temperature and the gap parameter at absolute zero. These analytically obtained equations reduce to standard BCS form when temperature is small. These equations are applicable to low as well as high temperature superconductors successfully for their superconducting transition temperature and the energy gap parameter.

Lattice dynamics of NbX 2( X = S , Se ) is studied by taking account of electron-phonon interaction derived microscopically on the basis of the realistic tight-binding bands fitted to the first-principle bands of NbX 2. Remarkable frequency renormalization of Σ1 phonon mode around [Formula: see text] is caused due to characteristic wave-vector and mode dependences of the electron-phonon interaction as well as nesting effect of Fermi surface. It is also shown that the short range force constant for neighboring X ions on different X-layers in the same X-Nb-X sandwich determines primarily whether lattice instability occurs ( NbSe 2 case) or does not occur ( NbS 2 case). By using the electron-phonon interaction and the lattice dynamics obtained for NbS 2 we have calculated the spectral function α2F(ω) and determined superconducting transition temperature T c by solving the linearlized Eliashberg equation. Renormalization of phonon frequencies due to the eletron-phonon interaction raises considerably the transition temperature and the obtained value of T c agrees in order of magnitude with the experimental data.

ABSTRACTPolycrystalline samples of YBa2Cu2O7-δ with a variety of surface treatments show differences in absolute reflectance and width of phonon lines. Samples that are not polished and are measured immediately after annealing have largely grains with the c axis normal to the surface. Such oriented samples show a gap-like depression of conductivity in the far infrared that sets in below the superconducting transition temperature but no true gap. Phonon lines at 195 cm−1 and at 155 cm−1 narrow in the superconducting state, in analogy with the effect of the electron phonon interaction in BCS superconductors. In the normal state the background conductivity is Drude like with a plasma frequency of 0.75 eV and a relaxation rate of 200 cm−1. The extrapolated far-infrared conductivity agrees with the measured dc conductivity.

A system of electrons with strong correlations is considered within the framework of a single-band Hubbard model with a strong anharmonic electron-phonon interaction. The dependence of superconducting transition temperature T c on carrier concentration n is obtained using the Green function technique. It is shown that, due to the nonlocal character of electron–phonon coupling in the model, T c (n) strongly depends on the symmetry of the gap.
