Abstract

We propose a superconductivity theory of two-band nonadiabatic systems with strong electron correlations in the linear approximation in nonadiabaticity. Assuming a weak electron-phonon interaction, we obtain analytic expressions for the vertex and “intersecting” functions for each of the two bands. With the diagrams involving intersections of two electron-phonon interaction lines taken into account (which means going beyond the Migdal theorem), we determine mass operators of the Green’s functions and use them to derive the basic equations of the superconductivity theory for two-band systems. We find an analytic expression for the superconducting transition temperature Tc that differs from the expression in the case of the standard two-band systems by an essential renormalization of the relevant quantities that results from the nonadiabaticity effects and strong electron correlations. We study the dependence of Tc and of the isotopic coefficient α on the Migdal parameter m = ω0/εF and show that accounting for the overlap of energy bands on the Fermi surface and for the nonadiabaticity effects at small values of the transferred momentum (q ≪ 2pF) allows obtaining high values of Tc even for the weak electron-phonon interaction.
