Title: Topics in the Superconductivity of Simple Metals and Alloys
Authors: Trofimenkoff, Peter Nicholas
Advisor: Carbotte, J. P.
Department: Physics
Keywords: superconductivity, simple metals, alloys, hydrostatic pressures, aluminum, lead, mercury, tin, temperatures
Publication Date: Nov-1969
Abstract: <p> The effects of hydrostatic pressure on the superconducting transition temperatures of the simple metals aluminum, lead, mercury, tin and indium are investigated within the strong-coupling theory of superconductivity. The experimental variation of the transition temperature with volume change can be understood within a simple scaling model. Strong-coupling effects in the pressure dependence of superconductivity in lead and mercury are investigated.</p> <p> A formalism which includes effects of force constant disorder on superconductivity in a binary alloy of simple metals is established within pseudopotential theory.</p>
