Thermodynamics of the superconducting state in Calcium at 200 GPa

Abstract

The thermodynamic parameters of the superconducting state in Calcium under the pressure at 200 GPa were calculated. The Coulomb pseudopotential values (${\mu }^{\star }$) from 0.1 to 0.3 were taken into consideration. It has been shown, that the specific heat's jump at the critical temperature and the thermodynamic critical field near zero Kelvin strongly decrease with ${\mu }^{\star }$. The dimensionless ratios $r_1\equiv \Delta C(T_C)/C^N(T_C)$ and $r_2\equiv T_C{C}^N(T_C)/H_C^2(0)$ significantly differ from the predictions based on the BCS model. In particular, $r_1$ decreases from 2.64 to 1.97 with the Coulomb pseudopotential; whereas $r_2$ increases from 0.140 to 0.157. The numerical results have been supplemented by the analytical approach.
