Abstract

First-principles calculations of the cubic intermetallic compound YSn ₃ indicate that the superconductivity it exhibits below 7 K can be explained by intermediate strength conventional electron-phonon coupling. With a reasonable value for the Coulomb pseudopotential μ⊃*=0.12, and the calculated electron-phonon coupling constant of 0.99, the McMillan formula predicts a T_c of approximately 6 K.
