Abstract
From the solution of the Eliashberg equations on the imaginary axis, the thermodynamic properties, specific heat, and critical magnetic field of PdH(D) have been calculated. The Eliashberg kernels α2(Ω)F(Ω) were constructed using a published value of α2(Ω), and F(Ω) was obtained from inelastic neutron scattering data. The results for the specific heat are in good agreement with published experimental data. The critical magnetic field shows a nearly parabolic behavior as a function of temperature, in disagreement with the linear experimental behavior. The deviation function D(t) and the ratios δC(Tc)/γTc and γ[Tc/Hc(0)]2 indicate that the PdH(D) system is BCS-like. The functional derivative of Tc with respect to changes in the kernel is also calculated.
