Effect of interband interactions of phonon and charge fluctuation on superconducting parameters of MgB2

We have investigated the effect of unconventional pairing mechanism in MgB2 using a two-band model within the framework of Bogoliubov-Valatin formalism. The approach incorporates the intra- band s-wave interaction in the s- and p-bands, as well as interband s-wave interaction between them. The analysis assumes the pairing interaction matrix comprises of attractive electron-phonon, charge fluctuation and repulsive electron-electron (Coulomb) interactions to account for superconductivity in MgB2. The model is used to estimate the transition temperature and isotope effect exponent as well as to elucidate the importance of interband contributions in the superconductivity of the system.

Thermodynamics of Third Order Phase Transition: A Solution to the Euler-Lagrange Equations

The thermodynamics expected of systems undergoing third order phase transition has been investigated by identifying the orders through the analytic continuation of the functional of the free energy, using Ehrenfest thermodynamic theory. We developed the Euler - Lagrange equations for the order parameter and the vector potential and solved them for the first time using well - known mathematical formulations.
