Abstract

We have calculated the nonlinear current of a number of single band s-wave electron-phonon superconductors. Among issues considered were those of dimensionality, strong electron-phonon coupling, impurities, and comparison with BCS. For the case of two bands, particular attention is paid to features resulting from the two energy gap scales, the Fermi velocity anisotropy, the integration effects of the off-diagonal electron-phonon interaction, as well as interband and intraband impurities. For the specific case of MgB2, we present results based on the known microscopic parameters of band theory.
