摘要
Choi [Phys. Rev. B 66, 020513 (2002)] recently presented first-principles calculations of the electron-phonon coupling and superconductivity in MgB2, emphasizing the importance of anisotropy and anharmonicity. We point out that (1) variation of the superconducting gap inside the sigma or the pi bands can hardly be observed in real samples, and (2) taking the anisotropy of the Coulomb repulsion into account influences the size of the small gap, Delta(pi).
