Table 3 λ, \({\langle {\Omega }^{2}\rangle }^{1/2}\), ∫g(E)EdE, ωln, \({T}_{C,cal}^{ADMM}\) calculated for all samples, using μ* = 0.117 and \({T}_{C,cal}^{E}\) calculated for all samples, using μ* = 0.119. The last column shows the experimentally obtained critical temperature, TC,exp *(the error on TC,exp is 0.05 K for all samples and is determined by the temperature stability of the SQUID magnetometer, the errors indicated for the other quantities are based on the statistical error of the PDOS).
