Dynamical Screening and Superconducting State in Intercalated Layered Metallochloronitrides

Superconductivity 2009-11-07 v2

Abstract

An essential property of layered systems is the dynamical nature of the screened Coulomb interaction. Low energy collective modes appear as a consequence of the layering and provide for a superconducting-pairing channel in addition to the electron-phonon induced attractive interaction. We show that taking into account this feature allows to explain the high critical temperatures (Tc~26K) observed in recently discovered intercalated metallochloronitrides. The exchange of acoustic plasmons between carriers leads to a significant enhancement of the superconducting critical temperature that is in agreement with the experimental observations.
