Superconductivity in diamond, electron–phonon interaction and the zero-point renormalization of semiconducting gaps
The superconductivity observed in boron-doped diamond is discussed from the point of view of the phonon-driven BCS theory. It is shown that electron–phonon interaction is particularly strong in diamond. Other semiconductors possibly exhibiting superconductivity are brought to the fore. Related evide...
