AbstractCooper-pair distribution function, $$D_{cp}(\omega ,T_c)$$

, is a recent theoretical proposal that reveals information about the superconductor state through the determination of the spectral regions where Cooper pairs are formed. This is built from the well-established Eliashberg spectral function and phonon density of states, calculated by first-principles. From this function is possible to obtain the $$N_{cp}$$

parameter, which is proportional to the total number of Cooper pairs formed at a critical temperature $$T_c$$

suggests that the vibration energy range of 10–70 meV is where the Cooper pairs are possible for these superconductors, pointing out the possible importance of the low-energy region on the electron–phonon superconductivity. This has been confirmed by the fact that a simple variation in the low-frequency region induced for the substitution of S atoms in $$H_3S$$

by its stable isotopes can lead to important changes in $$T_c$$
