Superconducting State Parameters of Al-Li Binary Alloys

Authors: ADITYA M. VORA

Abstract: Theoretical computation of superconducting state parameters (SSP) viz. electron-phonon coupling strength \lambda , Coulomb pseudopotential \mu^* , transition temperature T_C , isotope effect exponent \alpha and effective interaction strength N_o V of face centered cubic Al_{1-C} Li_C binary alloys have been made extensively in the present work using a model potential formalism for the first time. A considerable influence of various exchange and correlation functions on \lambda and \mu^* is found from the present study. The present results of the SSP are found in qualitative agreement with the available experimental data wherever exist.

Keywords: Pseudopotential, Superconducting state parameters, Binary alloys.
