Abstract

The phonon spectra for amorphous Bi and Ga are derived by using McMillan's inversion program on our tunneling data. The results indicate an extreme "softening of the phonon spectrum" from what is found for crystalline superconductors. Parameters derived from our phonon spectra are used to test recent theories of the transition temperature of amorphous and strong-coupling superconductors, and also to test the McMillan equation for the maximum possible transition temperature in the limit of extremely strong coupling.
