Electron-Phonon Superconductivity

  • Chapter
The Physics of Superconductors

Abstract

A fairly sophisticated description of electron-phonon superconductivity has existed since the early 1960’s, following the work of Eliashberg [1], Nambu [2], Morel and Anderson [3], and Schrieffer et al. [4]. All of this work extended the original ideas of Bardeen, Cooper, and Schrieffer [5] on superconductivity, to include dynamical phonon exchange as the root cause of the effective attractive interaction between electrons in a metal. For certain superconducting materials, Eliashberg theory (as this description is generally called) provides a very accurate description of the superconducting state. Nonetheless, as B.T. Matthias was fond of iterating [6], this description was never considered (by him and others) particularly helpful for discovering new, high temperature superconductors [7]. Part of the problem remains that a truly accurate description of the normal state has not been forthcoming. Part of that problem is the “curse” of Fermi Liquid Theory. To the extent that the electron-phonon coupling causes relatively innocuous corrections to most normal state properties, its underlying characteristics remain undetectable (indeed, as will be reviewed here, the characteristics of the electron-phonon interaction are made more apparent in the superconducting state). An exception may be the A15 compounds, whose anomalous normal state properties might help us achieve further understanding of the electron-phonon interaction in these materials [10].

  192. Of course, physically we know that Eliashberg theory gets this limit completely wrong; T c should peak at some point and then decrease to zero as the coupling strength increases. That an approximation to Eliashberg theory improves upon this doesn’t justify that approximation; it simply means two errors have undone one another to get closer to the “right answer”.

  215. This is not to be taken as a statement regarding the phase of the order parameter; we have ignored the phase up to this point, or, equivalently, set it to zero. Rather, as is evident from Eqs. (4.73,4.74), in Eliashberg theory the quantity which takes on the role of the order parameter acquires an imaginary part, whose significance is associated with lifetime effects.
