The electronic heat capacity of YBa{sub 2}Cu{sub 3}O{sub 7−δ} superconductor
The contributions due to the point defects or disorder and anharmonicities which play deterministic role in the understanding of electronic heat capacity (EHC) of high temperature superconductors (HTS) have been investigated via electron density of states (EDOS) approach on the basis of quantum dynamical many body theory. The evaluation of EDOS has been carried out with the help of most versatile method of double time temperature dependent electron Green’s functions (GF) via a Hamiltonian (non BCS type) which includes the effects of electrons, phonons, defects, anharmonicity, and electron-phonon interactions which enables to account the effects of cubic anharmonicity besides with both the force constant changes and mass difference caused by the impurities in developing the results for EDOS and EHC. The new results reveal some striking features of EHC of HTS.
