Superconductivity in lithium, potassium and aluminium under extreme pressure: A first-principles study
G. Profeta, C. Franchini, N. N. Lathiotakis +7
Extreme pressure strongly affects the superconducting properties of ``simple'' elemental metals, like Li, K and Al. Pressure induces superconductivity in Li (as high as 17 K), whil…
Superconducting properties of MgB2 from first principles
A. Floris, G. Profeta, N. N. Lathiotakis +6
Solid MgB has rather interesting and technologically important properties, such as a very high superconducting transition temperature. Focusing on this compound, we report the…
Ab-initio theory of superconductivity - II: Applications to elemental metals
M. A. L. Marques, M. Lüders, N. N. Lathiotakis +6
The density functional theory for superconductors developed in the preceding article [cond-mat/0408685] is applied to the calculation of superconducting properties of several eleme…
Ab-initio theory of superconductivity - I: Density functional formalism and approximate functionals
M. Lüders, M. A. L. Marques, N. N. Lathiotakis +6
A novel approach to the description of superconductors in thermal equilibrium is developed within a formally exact density-functional framework. The theory is formulated in terms o…
