Superconductivity emerges in $1T$-TiSe$_2$ when its charge density wave (CDW) order is suppressed by Cu intercalation or pressure. Since the CDW state is thought to be an excitonic insulator, an interesting question is whether the…
The weak-coupling limits of the gap and critical temperature computed within Eliashberg theory surprisingly deviate from the BCS theory predictions by a factor of $1/\sqrt{e}$. Interestingly, however, the ratio of these two quantities…

A general theory of superconductivity based on the pairing of electrons that belong to different electronic bands is presented. These electronic bands arise because of a symmetry breaking at the critical temperature in such a way that one…
Hydrogen-based materials are able to possess extremely high superconducting critical temperatures, \tc s, due to hydrogen's low atomic mass and strong electron-phonon interaction. Recently, a descriptor based on the Electron Localization…
It is notoriously difficult to make quantitative theoretical predictions of the superconducting $T_c$, either from first-principles or even from a knowledge of normal state properties. Ultimately, this reflects the fact that the energy…
Spin fluctuations have been proposed as a key mechanism for mediating superconductivity, particularly in high-temperature superconducting cuprates, where conventional electron-phonon interactions alone cannot account for the observed…
