A model for superconducting sulfur hydrides
Abstract
Due to the value of the isotope shift in sulfur hydrides, a phonon-mediated pairing scenario of superconductivity is generally accepted for these high-temperature superconductors which is consistent with the Bardeen-Cooper-Schrieffer (BCS) framework. Knowing that a large electronic density of states enhances Tc, generalized Fermi surface topologies are used to increase it. A multi-band model within the BCS framework is proposed in this work for the description of sulfur hydride superconductors. This model is used to describe some properties of the H3S superconductor. Strong coupling effects are taken into account with the effective McMillan approximation and the isotope coefficient is evaluated as function of the coupling parameter as well as other relevant parameters of the model.
