Is LaFeAsO1-xFx an electron-phonon superconductor?

In this Letter, we calculate the electron-phonon coupling of the newly discovered superconductor LaFeAsO1-xFx using linear response. For pure LaFeAsO, the calculated electron-phonon coupling constant lambda=0.21 and logarithmic-averaged frequency omega(ln)=206 K give a maximum T-c of 0.8 K, using the standard Migdal-Eliashberg theory. For the F-doped compounds, we predict even smaller coupling constants. To reproduce the experimental T-c, a 5-6 times larger coupling constant would be needed. Our results indicate that electron-phonon coupling is not sufficient to explain superconductivity in the whole family of Fe-As-based superconductors, probably due to the importance of strong-correlation effects.
