Determining the Superconducting Transition Temperatures of Liquids
Abstract
We develop a non-perturbative approach for calculating the superconducting transition temperatures () of liquids. The electron-electron scattering amplitude induced by electron-phonon coupling (EPC), from which the effective pairing interaction can be inferred, is related to the fluctuation of the -matrix of electron scattering induced by ions. By applying the relation, EPC parameters can be extracted from a path-integral molecular dynamics simulation. For determining , the linearized Eliashberg equations are re-established in the non-perturbative context. We apply the approach to estimate of metallic hydrogen liquids. It indicates that metallic hydrogen liquids in the pressure regime from to have well above their melting temperatures, therefore are superconducting liquids.
