Abstract
We have calculated the isotope effect, the thermodynamics, and the gap () to critical temperature () ratio for an excitonic superconductor. We consider the possibility that some contribution to the pairing interaction is due to the electron-phonon interaction. As the amount of electron-phonon contribution is increased from zero, the thermodynamic ratios start deviating from Bardeen-Cooper-Schrieffer behavior, but in the opposite direction from conventional strong-coupling superconductors. The isotope effect increases very slowly from zero and remains close to 3.54 for a significant range of phonon coupling strength.
