Abstract

The thermodynamic parameters of the superconducting state, that induces in Si2H6{\rm Si_{2}H_{6}} under the pressure at 275 GPa, have been calculated. In the framework of the Eliashberg formalism, it has been shown that the critical temperature can attain extremely high values: TC(μ)<173.36,99.99>T_{C}(\mu^{\star})\in<173.36, 99.99> K, where the Coulomb pseudopotential (μ)(\mu^{\star}) belongs to the range from 0.1 to 0.3. The ratio of the energy gap to the critical temperature (RΔR_{\Delta}) significantly exceeds the value predicted by the BCS theory: RΔ(μ)<4.40,4.04>R_{\Delta}(\mu^{\star})\in<4.40, 4.04>. Additionally, it has been stated that in the whole range of the superconducting state's existence, the electron effective mass (mem^{\star}_{e}) is large; [me]T=TCmax=2.397me[m^{\star}_{e}]^{\rm max}_{T=T_{C}}=2.397m_{e}, where the symbol mem_{e} denotes the electron band mass.
