Abstract We study influence of anisotropy of the impurity potential on isotope coefficient of impure superconductor in Born limit .The isotope coefficient of nonmagnetic and magnetic impurities including an angle-resoled Fermi surface density of state, anisotropy order parameter and impure potential that we make the assumption that the form of them are in the harmonic form are investigated . Our numerical calculation of isotope coefficient can fit well with experimental data of high-T superconductors. c 1.Introduction One of the important parameters in the experiment and theory of superconductor is the isotope coefficient α defined by T αM −α where T is the c c superconducting transition temperature and M is the isotope mass of the element. In the BCS theory it has been predicted that α 0.5 suggesting phonon-mediated pairing in superconductors that verified experimentally for conventional superconductors. In high temperature superconductors the isotope effect shows complex behavior : some measurements[1,2] have shown near zero isotope effect coefficient and some measurements[3,4] have shown the values greater than 0.5 .To explain the unusual isotope effect in high temperature superconductors, many models have been proposed such as the van Hove singularity[5-7], anharmonic phonon[8,9], pairing-breaking effect[10] and pseudogap[11,12], nonadiabaticity[13] and impurity effect[14,15].
