Abstract

The influence ofδ-functional (symmetric as well as asymmetric) singularities in density of states (DOS) on the critical temperature and zero temperature energy gap is calculated. Surprisingly, we have obtained the same function for the off-symmetry of the peak position in DOS on the corresponding critical temperature as for the temperature dependence of the energy gap in the strong-coupling limit. The enhancement of the critical temperature due to the singularity (compared with the constant DOS near the Fermi surface) is much lower for strong-coupling superconductors than in the weak-coupling limit. Hence, the singularity in DOS cannot be the exclusive reason for large values of critical temperatures in highTc superconductors.
