Can Electron-Phonon Interaction Lead to Superconductivity?
Yes, electron-phonon interaction is a key mechanism behind conventional superconductivity. According to the Bardeen-Cooper-Schrieffer (BCS) theory, electrons can form Cooper pairs mediated by phonons, leading to a state where electrical resistance drops to zero. In nanostructured superconductors, understanding and controlling electron-phonon interaction is essential for optimizing superconducting properties.
