The BCS Critical Temperature in a Weak External Electric Field via a Linear Two-Body Operator

Abstract

We study the critical temperature of a superconductive material in a weak external electric potential via a linear approximation of the BCS functional. We reproduce a similar result as in Frank et al. (Commun Math Phys 342(1):189–216, 2016, [5]) using the strategy introduced in Frank et al. (The BCS critical temperature in a weak homogeneous magnetic field, [2]), where we considered the case of an external constant magnetic field.
