Effect of high density of states in the presence of interchain coupling on the transition temperature

  • Published:
Zeitschrift für Physik B Condensed Matter

Abstract

The combinationN(0)I 2 (N(0)-electronic density of states at the Fermi level,I 2-electron-phonon coupling constant) is calculated in the tight-binding approximation for the δ2 band of V3Si. In this model the density of states can be very high even when strong interchain coupling is present. It is found thatI 2 is almost insensitive to changes in the interchain coupling, and that a significant increase inN(0)I 2 of this model can be achieved only for low occupation numbers of the δ2 band.
