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...

| Summary: | 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 evidence for strong electron–phonon interaction in semiconductors containing carbon, nitrogen and oxygen is presented |
