Abstract:
It is shown that the famous Allen–Dynes asymptotic limit for the superconducting transition temperature in the very strong coupling region $T_{c}>\frac{1}{2\pi}\sqrt{\lambda}\Omega_0$ (where $\lambda\gg 1$ is the Eliashberg–McMillan electron–phonon coupling constant and ${{\Omega }_{0}}$ is the characteristic frequency of phonons) in the antiadiabatic limit of Eliashberg equations $\Omega_0/D\gg 1$($D \sim {{E}_{{\text{F}}}}$ is the half-width of the conduction band and $E_{\text{F}}$ is the Fermi energy) is replaced by $T_c>(2\pi^4)^{-1/3}(\lambda D\Omega_0^2)^{1/3}$, with the upper limit $T_c<\frac{2}{\pi^2}\lambda D$.
