I solved the Eliashberg equations for a multiband non-phononic s± wave spin-glass superconductor, calculating the temperature dependence of the gaps and of superfluid density. Their behaviors were revealed to be unusual: showing non-monotonic...

Possible Superconductivity in Very Thin Magnesium Films

  • Giovanni Alberto Ummarino and
  • Alessio Zaccone

It is known that noble metals such as gold, silver and copper are not superconductors; this is also true for magnesium. This is due to the weakness of the electron–phonon interaction, which makes them excellent conductors but not superconductor...

Internal energies, enthalpies, phonon dispersion curves, and superconductivity of atomic metallic hydrogen are calculated. The standard use of pseudopotentials in density-functional theory are compared with full Coulomb-potential, all-electron linear...

Multiband Superconductivity in High-Pressure Sulfur Hydrides

  • Giovanni Alberto Ummarino and
  • Antonio Bianconi

The temperature dependence of the two superconducting gaps in pressurised H3S at 155 GPa with a critical temperature of 203 K has been determined using a data analysis of the experimental curve of the upper critical magnetic field as a function of te...

  • Jan Vorberger

3 March 2022

The rate of energy transfer between electrons and phonons is investigated by a first-principles framework for electron temperatures up to Te = 50,000 K while considering the lattice at ground state. Two typical but differently complex metals are inve...
