Cosine bands, flat bands and superconductivity in orthorhombic iron selenide
Ian D R Mackinnon, Jose A Alarco
Electronic band structures (EBSs) for orthorhombic beta FeSe1-x at less than 16 K and up to 23 GPa using experimentally determined cell dimensions are evaluated for cosine-shaped b…

Hopping mechanism for superconductivity revealed by Density Functional Theory
Jose A. Alarco, Ian D. R. Mackinnon
Electronic band structures of MgB2 show that sigma bands along the G-A reciprocal direction (parallel to the c-axis) in combination with electron-phonon coupling to the E2g mode ef…

Experimental control of Tc in AlB2-type compounds using an applied voltage
Jose A. Alarco, Mahboobeh Shahbazi, Ian D. R. Mackinnon
We utilize the van de Pauw technique combined with Density Functional Theory to show that an external voltage applied to superconducting AlB2-type compounds, such as MgB2 and Mg(B1…
