Abstract: | <p> A unified approach, employing effective phonon frequency distributions, is used to investigate effects of phonon anisotropy in the hcp metals.</p> <p> Phonon information is included by means of empirical force constant models, and pseudopotentials are used to describe the electron-ion interaction.</p> <p> Zinc and thallium superconducting gaps are determined as a function of position on the Fermi surface. The gap anisotropy is used to calculate thermodynamic properties.</p> <p> The normal state electron-phonon mass enhancement and the imaginary part of the electron self-energy are calculated as a function of temperature and Fermi surface position. Anisotropic transport scattering times are defined, calculated and used to obtain the polycrystalline and single crystal resistivities. Comparison is made with resistivities obtained by the variational approach.</p> |
