Abstract
A dynamic one‐parameter model discussed in a previous paper is used to calculate the temperature dependence of the electronic specific heat of superconductors from the grand canonical potential. Deviations from the law of corresponding states are obtained and the numerical results show that the experimentally measured electronic specific heats of superconductors with strong or intermediate electron‐phonon interaction are very well reproduced. In particular the predictions of the model for the strong‐coupling superconductor lead are discussed.Keywords
