Phonon structure in I-V characteristic of MgB$_{2}$ point-contacts

Superconductivity 2009-11-07 v2

Abstract

The search of the phonon structure at the above-gap energies was carried out for d2V/dI2(V)d^{2}V/dI^{2}(V) spectra of MgB2_{2} point contacts with a normal metal. The two-band model is assumed not only for the gap structure in dV/dI(V)dV/dI(V)-characteristics, but also for phonons in d2V/dI2(V)d^{2}V/dI^{2}(V) point-contact spectra, with up to the maximum lattice vibration energy. Since the current is carried mostly by charges of 3D-band, whereas the strong electron-phonon interaction occurs in 2D-band, we observe the phonon peculiarities due to ''proximity'' effect in {\it k}-space, which depends on the variation of interband coupling through the elastic scattering.
