This article reviews the theory of electron-phonon interactions in solids from the point of view
of ab initio calculations. While the electron-phonon interaction has been studied for almost a …

Modern ab initio theories of superconductivity allow characterizing and predicting phonon-
mediated superconductors. In this Technical Review, we analyse Eliashberg theory, density …

This book emerged from a course on density functional theory (DFT), first given at the
University of Munich more than a decade ago. The course was based on the classic texts by …

We present an application of Eliashberg theory of superconductivity to study a set of novel
superconducting systems with a wide range of structural and chemical properties. The set …

We propose a practical alternative to Eliashberg equations for the ab initio calculation of
superconducting transition temperatures and gap functions. Within the recent density …

We report first-principles calculations of the superconducting properties of CaC 6, obtained
within the density functional theory of superconductivity. We find a moderately anisotropic …

We perform first-principles calculations of the band and k-point resolved superconducting
gap of Pb in the framework of the density functional theory for superconductors. Without any …

We present the derivation of an ab initio and parameter-free effective electron-electron
interaction that goes beyond the screened random phase approximation and accounts for …

Periodic density functional theory calculations were performed to study the structural and
electronic properties of potassium intercalated into hexagonal MoS2 (2H-MoS2). Metallic …

By a recent count, there are 32 different classes of superconducting materials [Physica C:
Special Issue,“Superconducting materials: conventional, unconventional and undetermined …
