Abstract
Thermodynamic properties such as the specific-heat discontinuity at the transition temperature (), ΔC/, and the zero-temperature critical field, (0), of oxygen-deficient are analyzed to show that, within the framework of the BCS formalism, the density of states (DOS) at the Fermi level is peaked at y=0. The energy dependence of the DOS is considered for several models and found to be consistent with the Fermi level lying close to a two-dimensional van Hove singularity.
