| Sumario: | Previously, helium atom scattering (HAS) has been shown to probe the electron–phonon interaction at conducting crystal surfaces via the temperature dependence of the specular peak intensity. This method is now extended to non-stoichiometric superconductors. The electron–phonon interaction, as expressed by the mass-enhancement factor λ, is derived from the temperature dependence of the diffuse elastic scattering intensity, which specifically depends on the non-stoichiometric component responsible for superconductivity. The measured value of the mass-enhancement factor for Bi2Sr2CaCu2O8+δ at the optimal doping δ = 0.16 is λ = 0.55 ± 0.08 is in good agreement with values of λ recently estimated with other methods. This also confirms the relevant role of electron–phonon interaction in high-temperature non-stoichiometric cuprate superconductors. |
