Theoretical Study of Specific Heat and Density of States of MgB<sub>2</sub> Superconductor in Two Band Model

Abstract: MgB 2 with T c ≈ 40 K, is a record-breaking compound among the s-p metals and alloys. It appears that this material is a rare example of the two band electronic structures, which are weakly connected with each other. Experimental results clearly reveal that boron sub-lattice conduction band is mainly responsible for superconductivity in this simple compound. Experiments such as tunneling spectroscopy, specific heat measurements, and high resolution spectroscopy show that there are two superconducting gaps. Con… Show more

“…Like cuprate superconductors, FebSc systems derive their high temperature superconductivity from electron or hole doping of their parent compounds.These parent compounds exhibit long-range AFM static order, which is suppressed by electron or hole doping to induce superconductivity. In contrast to cuprates, magnetism in FebSCs results from a nestinginduced spin density wave [31].…”

“…This increase in positive charge will, in turn, attract another electron. These two electrons are Cooper pairs [31] which are discovered by Cooper [30]. These are also referred to as supperelectrons [8].…”

“…Their ratio is estimated to be min max 0.3 -0.4 ∆ ∆ ≈ using several experiments. The two-gap model is shown to consistently describe the optical conductivity and thermodynamic properties of MgB 2 [7]- [9]. However, there is no general agreement whether MgB 2 is an s-wave BCS type superconductor or not.…”
