Resolving phonon-mediated superconducting pairing symmetries from first-principles calculation
arXiv:2411.12991 · doi:10.1103/PhysRevB.111.094523
Abstract
The quest for topological superconductors triggers revived interests in resolving non-s-wave pairing channels mediated by phonons. While density functional theory and density functional perturbtaion theory have established a powerful framework to calculate electron-phonon couplings in real materials in a first-principles way, its application is largely limited to conventional s-wave superconductivity. Here, we formulate an efficient and simple-to-use algorithm for first-principles pairing channel analysis, and apply it to several representative material systems.
