Abstract
Theoretical calculations are presented of the temperature dependence of the electron-phonon mass enhancement for 16 nontransition metals. The results are in good agreement with low-temperature measurements on zinc as reported by Sabo in the preceding paper. A pseudopotential model of the electron-phonon coupling was used, with a modified form of the single-orthogonalized-plane-wave approximation. These calculations agree well with calculations based on data obtained from superconducting tunneling experiments.Keywords
