We study the influence of a logarithmic Van Hove singularity on the electronic specific heat C e of a 2D superconductor. The theoretical results are obtained for an isotropic s-wave gap parameter or an anisotropic dx2 y2-wave gap parameter. The specific heat jump at T c observed in high-T c supercon
The van Hove singularity can enhance structural and magnetic instabilities, which can compete with superconductivity. Evidence for such instabilities, including dynamical fluctuations and pseudogaps, is presented.
The thermal conductivity K(T) of polycrystalline YBa2(Cu ~ xNx)307 with N=Zn and AI (0~<x~<0.1) and YI yMyBa2Cu307 with M = Pr and Gd (0 ~< y ~< 1.0) has been measured for temperatures 1.2 ~< T ~< 200 K. In the undoped samples, K(T) decreases slightly with decreasing temperature above To, with a str
The electronic structure and the hole concentrations in the recently discovered high-To superconductor HgBa2CuO4+6 (~= 0, 1 ) have been investigated by employing a first-principles full potential self-consistent linear muffin-tin orbital (LMTO) method with the local density functional theory. The sc
