It is shown that the energy gap and the critical temperature are maximally enhanced in an optimum and finite range of squeezed coupling. For finite-squeezed coupling the ratio 2Δ/Tc becomes coupling-constant dependent and increases beyond the BCS value of 3.53. Ion-mass dependence of the squeezed coupling constant can yield variations of the isotope exponent from its conventional BCS value of 0.5. © 1995 The American Physical Society.EnglishPhonon squeezing via correlations in the superconducting electron-phonon interactionArticle10.1103/PhysRevB.51.15363
