Abstract

High quality samples and absence of superconductivity down to 40 mK make of ZrB 2 the best normal state reference system for the superconducting isostructural MgB 2 . Actually, the question of pairing has to be focused on the electron-phonon interaction in the normal state. After presenting the resistivity measurements of ZrB 2 , we explain the details of the Bloch-Grüneisen and Einstein models used to deduce the first results. We then compare experimental de Haas-van Alphen effect data with theoretical Fermi surfaces to present additional results on electron quasi-particle renormalization. The estimations reveal an isotropic and negligible coupling constant of in average $\left\langle \lambda_{tr} \right\rangle=$ 0.145. The contribution of the coupling to the optical phonon modes is 0.082, in contrast to the known larger coupling of 0.283 [3] to the E 2g phonon mode in MgB 2 .
