1 METAL HYDROGE SULFIDE CRITICAL TEMPERATURE AT THE PRESSURE 5 GPa. А. Kudryashov, А.A. Кutukov, Е. А. Mazur a ational Research uclear University MEPHI, Kashirskoe sh.3, Moscow 549, Russia Éliashberg theory, being generalized to the electron-onon (EP systems with not constant density of electronic states, as well as to the frequency behavior of the renormalization of both the electron SH mass and the chemical potential, is used to study hydrogen sulide 3 ase T under pressure. c The onon contribution to the anomalous electron Green's function (GF is considered. The pairing is considered within the overall width of the electron band, and not only in a narrow layer at the Fermi surface. The frequency and the temperature dependences of the electron mass renormalization ReZ( ω, the density of electronic states ( ε, renormalized by the EP interaction, the spectral function of the electron-onon interaction, obtained by calculation are used to calculate the electronic abnormal GF. The Éliashberg generalized equations with the variable density of electronic states are resolved. The dependence of both the real and the imaginary part of the order parameter on the frequency in the SH 3 ase is obtained. The T = 77 K value in the SH hydrogen sulfide 3 ase at the pressure P = 5 GPa has been defined. c. The theory of the superconductivity for the e-band with the not constant density of electronic states The calculation of the superconducting transition temperature in the hydrogen sulide [,] is usually carried out either by using extremely lax and insufficiently reasoned description of superconductivity with a freely selectable electron density functional [ 3 5] without any possibility of taking into account the effect of nonlinear nature of Éliashberg equations either within the approximate solutions of the Éliashberg equations [ 6 8] not taking into account the variable nature of the electronic density of states ( ω. The solution of the Éliashberg equations on the real axis is considered to be a difficult task. Therefore the critical temperature T with c the Éliashberg formalism is usually calculated in the Green's function presentation with the use of a set of discrete Green's function values on the imaginary axis and not

2 taking into account the variable nature of the electronic density of states (see [9] for such calculation in the hydrogen sulfide.the analytic continuation of such a solution in order to determine the frequency dependence of the order parameter is extremely inaccurate. The aim of present work is to derive the generalized Éliashberg equations for the precise T c calculation in the materials with the strong EP interaction, allowing a quantitative calculation and prediction of the superconducting properties and T c in the different ases of the hydrogen sulfide [, ], as well as in the high-temperature materials with the EP mechanism of superconductivity, which will be discovered in the near future. We will take into account all the features of the frequency behavior of the spectral function of the EP interaction, the behavior of the electron density of states ( ω and the specific properties of matter in which the superconducting state is established. For this purpose we construct in the present paper a revised version of the Migdal- Éliashberg theory for the EP system at nonzero T temperature in the ambu representation with the account of several factors such as the variability of the electronic density of states ( ε within the band, the frequency and temperature dependence of the complex mass renormalization Re Z( ω, T, Im Z( ω, T, the frequency and temperature dependence of the Re χ( ω,t, Im χ( ω,t terms usually referred to as the «сomplex renormalization of the chemical potential», the spectral function of the electron-onon interaction obtained by calculation, as well as the effects resulting from both the electron-hole non-equivalence and the fact of the zone width finiteness. Under these conditions, the derivation of the Éliashberg equations [ ] performed anew on a more rigorous basis, leading to the new terms in the equations for the order parameter, which are not accounted for in the previous versions of the theory (see., e.g. [ 4]. As it has been shown in[ 5 ] in the case of the strong is

3 3 electron-onon interaction the reconstruction of the real part ReΣ as well as of the imaginary part ImΣ of the GF self-energy part (SP in the materials with the variable density of electronic states is not limited to the frequency ω domain ωd of the limiting onon frequency, and extends into the much larger frequency range ω ωd from the Fermi surface. As a result, the EP interaction modifies SP of the Green's function, including its anomalous part, at a considerable distance from the Fermi surface in the units of Debye onon frequency ω D, and not only in the vicinity µ ωd < ω < µ + ωd of the Fermi surface. Given all that is written above, we consider EP system with the Hamiltonian which includes the electronic component H ˆ ˆ e, the ionic component H i and the component corresponding to the electron-ion interaction in the harmonic approximation H ˆ e i, so that Hˆ = Hˆ ˆ ˆ ˆ e+ H i+ H e i µ. Here the following notations are introduced: µ as the chemical potential, ˆ as the number of electrons operator in the system. The matrix electron Green function Ĝ is defined in the representation given by ambu as follows + = Ψ( Ψ (, where conventional creation and annihilation operators of G ˆ ( x, x T x x electrons appear as ambu operators. SP of the retarded GF at the discrete frequency points set ω = ( + π, =, ±, ±.. on the imaginary axis can be written as m m T m ˆ ( ( ˆ Σ iω, (, ˆ m = iωm Z p ωm τ + χ p ωm τ 3. χ( ξ, ω is the complex function, the real part of which is commonly referred to as the EP renormalization of the chemical potential interaction. The real part of the χ ( p, ω m term after analytic continuation determines the frequency-dependent shift of the chemical potential given by the following formula χ( p, ωm = Σ ( p, ωm +Σ( p, ωm Z. The ( p, ωm term the real part of which after analytic continuation sets the renormalization of the electron mass, and the imaginary part sets the damping of an electron is given by the expression

4 4 iωm Z( p, ωm = Σ( p, ωm Σ( p, ωm. Z After analytical continuing of the terms ( p, iωm and χ ( p, ω m Re the emerging functions Z ( p, ω Re χ and ( p, ω become even for all frequency values ω, including the frequency values at the real axis. After analytic continuation the retarded e-gf g ˆR iω ω+ iδ p is expressed as follows: the onon contribution to the self energy part of ( ξ ( (, (, Im (,. ˆ ξ ω d dξ K ω ˆ τ ˆ ˆ 3 gr ξ τ 3 π µ = ( We use the technique for the real frequency Éliashberg equations solution. This Re Z technique will allow us to control the process of calculating ( ω, Im Z( ω, ReΣ( ω ImΣ, ( ω Reχ, ( ω and Imχ( ω frequency behavior. In ( the Pauli matrices ˆi τ are introduced, α F is the EP interaction spectral function, ( ξ is a "bare" (not renormalized with the EP interaction variable electronic density of states defined by the following expression S d p dξ = ξ dξ ( ξ v ξ p S( ξ ( with the energy of the "bare" electrons ξ with the pulsep measured from the Fermi level.

From (, taking into account the standard expression for the retarded Green's function gˆ ( ξ, R

The expressions and the graics for the(, component of the imaginary part of the SP matrix Im ( ω = Im Z( ω ω+ Imχ( ω near the T c midrange were obtained in [7]. By direct calculation we get the following expression appearing in (, (3: 6 { ϕ( ( ( ϕ ( ( ξ + χ( Im Z z z z z ( ( ( ( ( ( ( ( ( ( = D Imϕ Re Z Im Z ξ + Reχ + Imχ Reϕ + Imϕ ( Z( Z( ( ( ( ( ( } Reϕ Re Im Imχ ξ + Reχ Reϕ Im ϕ (5 Here ( Re ( Im ( ( ξ Reχ( ( Imχ( Reϕ ( Imϕ ( D= Z z Z z z + z + z z + z + ( ( χ( ( ξ χ( ϕ( ϕ( + 4 Re Z z Im Z z z Im z + Re z Re z Im z.

As a result the nonlinear equations for the real part Reϕ( ω of the order parameter after ξ integration with the account of the delta function properties is taken as follows: ( ( ξ ( Reϕ( ( ϕ ( + ϕ ( Re ϕ( ω = P d K (, ω K (, ω Re Z z z Re z Im z Re Z( Reϕ ( + Imϕ ( + Re Z( Reϕ ( + Imϕ ( (9 P d K (, ω K (, ω dξ π µ Imϕ( z ( Re ( Im ( Re Z ϕ + ϕ ξ.

In the wide-band materials such as the hydrogen sulide, the logarithmic term in the last two equations with the high accuracy can be set equal to zero, so that the system of equations for the order parameter takes the form: ( Reϕ( ( ϕ ( + ϕ ( Re ϕ( ω = P d K (, ω K (, ω Re Z z z Re z Im z Re Z( Reϕ ( + Imϕ ( + Re Z( Reϕ ( + Imϕ (.

All results were obtained for the pressure P = 5 GPa and the temperature T = K. The system of equations (, ( is solved by using an iterative method based on the frequency behavior of the spectral function of the EP interaction (function α Éliashberg F( z [ 7] for SH3 hydrogen sulfide ase at at the pressure P = 5 GPa. It was found that the process of the convergence of the solution for the real part of the order parameter Reϕ( ω in solving the system of equations (, ( is set when the number of several tens of iterations is reached. At T = 8K and att = 3K Reϕ( ω as well as Imϕ( ω tend to zero with increasing number of iterations thus indicating no effect of superconductivity at these temperature. In this case, however, the order parameter preserves the characteristic structure of the superconducting state decreasing with increasing number of iterations. Equations (, ( below the T c Reϕ temperature have a set of three solutions namely: ( ω and Imϕ( ω, Reϕ( ω and Imϕ( ω and in the case of the presence of superconductivity additionally the zero unstable solution. In the numerical solution of equations ( - ( on the real axis the solution before the establishment of the zero solution undergoes multiple rebuilds from "negative" to the "positive" solutions. An additional difficulty in solving the equations ( - ( is a numerical integration of improper integrals with divergences appearing in these equations.

The imaginary part Im ( ω of the order parameter at low frequency is negative, while at the value of the dimensionless frequency equal to.3, Fig.5.b., the imaginary part Im ( ω value becomes positive. Thus, we set the value of the energy gap in the 3 sulfide ase, which turned out to be.3.34mev, that is, 59 degrees.

Fig. 7 shows the frequency dependence at the number of iterations of the very small quantities Re ϕ( ω, Imϕ( ω at the temperature T = 3K. From the Fig. 7 it is clearly seen that the order parameter Re ϕ( ω, Imϕ( ω magnitude in the decrease with increasing number of iterations even at T = 3K retains characteristic functional dependency of the hydrogen sulfide order parameter in the superconducting state. At the same time the rough approximations of for Reϕ( ω and of for Imϕ( ω are used as the initial conditions introducing in the solution no functional dependency on the frequency ω. Fig. 7.

Conclusions Analyzing the results and summing everything written before, we arrive at the following conclusions:. Éliashberg theory is generalized to account for the variable nature of the electron density of states.. The mathematical method for the solving of Éliashberg equations on the real axis is developed. 3. The generalized Éliashberg equations with the variable nature of the electron density of states are solved. The quantitative agreement with the experiment for the hydrogen sulide SH3 ase is achieved. The fact of the very slow convergence of the solutions of Éliashberg equations with increasing iteration number is established. 4. The frequency dependence as well as the fine structure of both the real part Reϕ( ω and the imaginary part Imϕ( ω of the order parameter corresponding to the selected SH3 sulfide ase at the temperatures T = 75K, T = 8K, T = 3K is obtained. The variation of the frequency dependence of the order parameter with the temperature is presented. 5. The energy gap magnitude of the SH3 sulfide ase is found to have the value 59 degrees. 6. It is shown that at the temperatures above the critical temperature the order parameter very slowly tends to zero with increasing the number of iterations, maintaining the characteristic functional behavior of the

16 superconducting state on the frequency. 7. The method of solving of the Éliashberg equations on a set of discrete points on the imaginary axis, faced with the problem of the convergence of the solution at low order of the discrete matrix, does not accurately reproduce the dependence of the order parameter on the frequency after the analytic continuation of the order parameter to the real frequency axis compared to the method of solving of Éliashberg equations on the real axis. It is shown that at the temperatures above the critical one the order parameter is very slowly tending to zero with increasing iteration number, maintaining the characteristic functional behavior of the superconducting state on the frequency. 8. All the calculations were carried out ab-initio. The work is not using any assumptions or any fitting parameters. The entire treatment was carried out on the real axis so as to be able to explore the frequency behavior of the order parameter simultaneously with the T c calculation without the analytic continuation procedure. We got T = 77K coinsiding with the experimental T [ ] c value in the hydrogen sulfide at the pressure 5GPa. At the temperature T = 8K > Tc and even at the room temperature T = 3 K, when the equation for the order parameter leads to an extremely small maximum values of the order parameter Re ϕ, Imϕ c 8 on the hundredth iteration, the order parameter frequency dependence is similar with the order parameter dependence on frequency for the superconducting state. 9. Three factors influence the T c of the EP system in the critical mode, namely: the variable nature of the electron density of states ( ε, the specific properties of a substance depending on the electron mass renormalization Re Z( z, the damping Im Z( z of the electrons, both the real Reχ( ω and the imaginary Imχ( ω components of the renormalization of the chemical potential, as well as the novel contributions Im ( ω to the Éliashberg equations which were not taken into account in the formalism of the previous works[ 4].The neglect of the terms proportional to 6

17 Im ( ω leads to the violation of the Kramers-Kronig relations for the imaginary and the real part of the order parameter in the Éliashberg equations.. It is of critical importance to take into account the variability of the density of electron states in the conduction band for the high T c appearance in the EP system. The accounting of the electron density of states variability in the band leads to the possibility of the pairing of electrons in the entire Fermi volume in contrast to the usually considered pairing within the layer with ωd thickness at the Fermi surface.. The Coulomb T pseudopotential of electrons in the hydrogen sulfide leads to the inessential c reduction. From the present consideration, given the considerable 59 degrees value of the superconducting gap and taking into account the conservation of the diminishing order parameter structure for the temperature larger T c, it becomes clear that the hydrogen sulfide EP system even at the temperatures above the critical point remains in the "quasi superconducting " state. From this it follows that the T c value in the EP system can be greatly improved as compared to the experimentally determined [,] T c value in the hydrogen sulfide by changing the pressure and with the selection Re Z of optimal ( ω, Im Z( ω, Re χ( ω, Imχ( ω behavior, along with the optimal behavior of the electron density of states ( ε with a weak electron-hole nonequivalence and a moderate value of the EP interaction. It is also possible that the high temperature superconductivity can be achieved with the influence on the EP system being in a "quasi superconducting " state with the unknown specific weak perturbation the nature of which is still to be established.
