In spite of their layered crystal structure, the new class of intermetallic borocarbide superconductors (typified by LuNi{sub 2}B{sub 2}C) have three-dimensional conduction with anisotropy being a minor factor. The calculated electron-phonon coupling constants are consistent with a picture of moderate- to strong-coupling conventional superconductivity, with large contributions from boron vibrations. The authors report several calculated material parameters for members of this class of compounds, and compare with some of the experimental data.
