Anomalous isotope effect in BCS superconductors with two boson modes

The isotope effect in the superconducting transition temperature is anomalous if the isotope coefficient α < 0 or α > 1/2. In this work, we show that such anomalous behaviors can naturally arise within the Bardeen–Cooper–Schrieffer framework if both phonon and non-phonon modes coexist. Differe...
