Abstract:
Cooper-pair distribution function, [Formula: see text], is a recent theoretical proposal that reveals information about the superconductor state through the determination of the spectral regions where Cooper pairs are formed. This is built from the well-established Eliashberg spectral function and phonon density of states, calculated by first-principles. From this function is possible to obtain the [Formula: see text] parameter, which is proportional to the total number of Cooper pairs formed at a critical temperature [Formula: see text]. Herein, we reported [Formula: see text] function of the compressed [Formula: see text] and [Formula: see text] high-[Formula: see text] conventional superconductors, including the effect of stable sulfur isotopes in [Formula: see text]. [Formula: see text] suggests that the vibration energy range of 10-70 meV is where the Cooper pairs are possible for these superconductors, pointing out the possible importance of the low-energy region on the electron-phonon superconductivity. This has been confirmed by the fact that a simple variation in the low-frequency region induced for the substitution of S atoms in [Formula: see text] by its stable isotopes can lead to important changes in [Formula: see text]. The results also show proportionality between [Formula: see text] parameter and experimental or theoretical [Formula: see text] values.
