W. Victoroff et al., NON ADIABATIC SUPERCONDUCTIVITY OF A CORRELATED FERMI-LIQUID - APPLICATION TO FULLERIDES, Synthetic metals, 70(1-3), 1995, pp. 1489-1490
We describe superconducting Fullerides by a model of weakly coupled mo
lecular levels, in which the bandwidth B and the Debye energy omega(D)
have same orders of magnitude. For such a narrow band, electron corre
lations are supposed to be important. They are discussed in a Hubbard
model, using a Gutzwiller approach, which modifies the electron propag
ators. The gap equation for superconductivity is written in the Eliash
berg strong coupling theory. Assuming a simple Frohlich electron-elect
ron attraction, induced by the electron-phonon coupling, the critical
temperature of superconductivity is calculated as a function of B/U, w
here U is the Hubbard Coulomb energy. Effects of non adiabaticity asso
ciated to large Debye energy is discussed by including corrections to
Migdal's theorem. A connection between the critical temperature and th
e screening effect is made.
