Superconductivity of Magnesium Diboride: Theoretical Aspects

Superconductivity 2015-06-24 v1 Materials Science

Abstract

In this work we review our present understanding of superconductivity in Magnesium Diboride from the theoretical perspective as it evolves from band structure calculations. Particular emphasis is placed on two gap superconductivity. Some of its peculiar consequences are discussed, in particular upper critical field anisotropy and microwave conductivity.
