A brief summary of the theory is also given. I. THEORETICAL INTRODUCTION Grimvall [1] has written a review of electron-phonon e ects in metals. Prominent among these e ects is sup ercon- ductivity. The BCS theory gives a relation T exp1=N 0V for the sup erconducting transition temp erature c D T in terms of the Debye temp erature .Values of T are tabulated in various places, the most complete prior to c D c the high T era b eing ref. [2]. The electron-electron interaction V consists of the attractive electron-phonon-induced c interaction minus the repulsive Coulombinteraction. The notation is used = N 0V 1 eph and the Coulomb repulsion N 0V is called , so that N 0V = , where is a \renormalized" Coulomb c repulsion, reduced in value from to =[1 + ln! =! ].

How the Electron-Phonon Coupling Mechanism Work in Metal Superconductor
How the electron-phonon coupling mechanism work in metal superconductor Qiankai Yao1,2 1College of Science, Henan University of Technology, Zhengzhou450001, China 2School of physics and Engineering, Zhengzhou University, Zhengzhou450001, China Abstract Superconductivity in some metals at low temperature is known to arise from an electron-phonon coupling mechanism. Such the mechanism enables an effective attraction to bind two mobile electrons together, and even form a kind of pairing system(called Cooper pair) to be physically responsible for superconductivity. But, is it possible by an analogy with the electrodynamics to describe the electron-phonon coupling as a resistivity-dependent attraction? Actually so, it will help us to explore a more operational quantum model for the formation of Cooper pair. In particularly, by the calculation of quantum state of Cooper pair, the explored model can provide a more explicit explanation for the fundamental properties of metal superconductor, and answer: 1) How the transition temperature of metal superconductor is determined? 2) Which metals can realize the superconducting transition at low temperature? PACS numbers: 74.20.Fg; 74.20.-z; 74.25.-q; 74.20.De ne is the mobile electron density, η the damping coefficient 1. Introduction that is determined by the collision time τ . In the BCS theory[1], superconductivity is attributed to a In metal environment, mobile electrons are usually phonon-mediated attraction between mobile electrons near modeled to be a kind of classical particles like gas molecules, Fermi surface(called Fermi electrons). The attraction is each of which performs a Brown-like motion and satisfies the sometimes referred to as a residual Coulomb interaction[2] that Langevin equation can glue Cooper pair together to cause superconductivity. -
An Introduction to Effective Field Theory
An Introduction to Effective Field Theory Thinking Effectively About Hierarchies of Scale c C.P. BURGESS i Preface It is an everyday fact of life that Nature comes to us with a variety of scales: from quarks, nuclei and atoms through planets, stars and galaxies up to the overall Universal large-scale structure. Science progresses because we can understand each of these on its own terms, and need not understand all scales at once. This is possible because of a basic fact of Nature: most of the details of small distance physics are irrelevant for the description of longer-distance phenomena. Our description of Nature’s laws use quantum field theories, which share this property that short distances mostly decouple from larger ones. E↵ective Field Theories (EFTs) are the tools developed over the years to show why it does. These tools have immense practical value: knowing which scales are important and why the rest decouple allows hierarchies of scale to be used to simplify the description of many systems. This book provides an introduction to these tools, and to emphasize their great generality illustrates them using applications from many parts of physics: relativistic and nonrelativistic; few- body and many-body. The book is broadly appropriate for an introductory graduate course, though some topics could be done in an upper-level course for advanced undergraduates. It should interest physicists interested in learning these techniques for practical purposes as well as those who enjoy the beauty of the unified picture of physics that emerges. It is to emphasize this unity that a broad selection of applications is examined, although this also means no one topic is explored in as much depth as it deserves. -
Gravitational Potential Energy
Briefly review the concepts of potential energy and work. •Potential Energy = U = stored work in a system •Work = energy put into or taken out of system by forces •Work done by a (constant) force F : v v v v F W = F ⋅∆r =| F || ∆r | cosθ θ ∆r Gravitational Potential Energy Lift a book by hand (Fext) at constant velocity. F = mg final ext Wext = Fext h = mgh h Wgrav = -mgh Fext Define ∆U = +Wext = -Wgrav= mgh initial Note that get to define U=0, mg typically at the ground. U is for potential energy, do not confuse with “internal energy” in Thermo. Gravitational Potential Energy (cont) For conservative forces Mechanical Energy is conserved. EMech = EKin +U Gravity is a conservative force. Coulomb force is also a conservative force. Friction is not a conservative force. If only conservative forces are acting, then ∆EMech=0. ∆EKin + ∆U = 0 Electric Potential Energy Charge in a constant field ∆Uelec = change in U when moving +q from initial to final position. ∆U = U f −Ui = +Wext = −W field FExt=-qE + Final position v v ∆U = −W = −F ⋅∆r fieldv field FField=qE v ∆r → ∆U = −qE ⋅∆r E + Initial position -------------- General case What if the E-field is not constant? v v ∆U = −qE ⋅∆r f v v Integral over the path from initial (i) position to final (f) ∆U = −q∫ E ⋅dr position. i Electric Potential Energy Since Coulomb forces are conservative, it means that the change in potential energy is path independent. f v v ∆U = −q∫ E ⋅dr i Electric Potential Energy Positive charge in a constant field Electric Potential Energy Negative charge in a constant field Observations • If we need to exert a force to “push” or “pull” against the field to move the particle to the new position, then U increases. -
