The disordered binary substitutional A 1−x B x alloy model has been proposed for the description of the normal and superconducting properties of bismuthate ceramics Ba(Pb,Bi)O 3. The Eliashberg-type equations for the strong coupling superconductivity in strongly disordered alloys have been used to describe the superconducting properties. The relevant configurational averaging has been performed in the framework of CPA. The concentration dependence of electron-phonon coupling constant λ(x) and transition temperature Tc(x) has been calculated.

The sharp forward electron–phonon (FEP) and impurity (FIS) scattering change the normal and superconducting properties significantly. The pseudo-gap like features are present in the density of states for ω<Ω, where Ω is the phonon frequency. The superconducting critical temperature T c , due to the FEP pairing, is linear with respect to the electron–phonon coupling constant. The FIS impurities are pair weakening for s- and d-wave pairing.

ABSTRACTThe superconducting transition temperature, Tc, of a series of non-transition metals was improved by implantation of H and D into these metals kept below 10 K. In all cases the increase of Tc was considerably larger for H and D implantation with respect of He implantation causing only radiation effects. It could be shown that the enhancement of Tc depends on the electron-phonon coupling constant of the host metal, suggesting that mainly phonon effects dominate the improvement of Tc.

The quest to create superconductors with higher transition temperatures is as old as superconductivity itself. One strategy, popular after the realization that (conventional) superconductivity is mediated by phonons, is to chemically combine different elements within the crystalline unit cell to maximize the electron-phonon coupling. This led to the discovery of NbTi and Nb_33Sn, to name just the most technologically relevant examples. Here, we propose a radically different approach to transform a ‘pristine’ material into a better (meta-) superconductor by making use of modern fabrication techniques: designing and engineering the electronic properties of thin films via periodic patterning on the nanoscale. We present a model calculation to explore the key effects of different supercells that could be fabricated using nanofabrication or deliberate lattice mismatch, and demonstrate that specific pattern will enhance the coupling and the transition temperature. We also discuss how numerical methods could predict the correct design parameters to improve superconductivity in materials including Al, NbTi, and MgB_22.
