Abstract

In the present communication, we have computed Superconducting State Parameters namely (I) Electron phonon coupling strength (λ), (II) Coulomb pseudopotential (μ*), (III) Transition temperature (Tc), (IV) Isotope effect exponent (α), (V) Effective interaction strength (N0V) using non-local pseudopotential. Our computed results are well compared with results obtained by using local pseudopotentials and available experimental results. It has been observed that for the computation of SST, the non-local pseudopotentials provides better understanding in comparison with local pseudopotentials. Looking, to be such success we would like to extend such study for prediction of critical volume at which transition temperature (Tc) becomes zero.
