Abstract
The theory of Appel and Kohn is used to calculate for a narrow-band superconductor, where the conduction electrons near the Fermi suface have both and character. The vertex equations for the symmetrized pair states formed from and orbitals are solved in the contact model. The result is used for a parameter study of ; one pertinent parameter is the pairing interaction due to phonon exchange between and electrons. The experimental situation for La is discussed in terms of the results.
