Electron pairing is central to modern concepts of superconductivity, and provides a basis for the ubiquitous presence of h/2e in the theory and phenomenology. However, the lack of a consistent real-space picture of phonon-mediated pairing…
The existence of more than one solution for s-wave pairing in the extended Hubbard model is not often realized. This possibility was noted by Friedberg et al. [Phys. Rev B50, 10190 (1994)] in the case of two electrons on a lattice, without…

We measure electron localization in different materials by means of a ``localization tensor'', based on Berry phases and related quantities. We analyze its properties, and we actually compute such tensor from first principles for several…
Superconductivity develops from an attractive interaction between itinerant electrons that creates electron pairs which condense into a macroscopic quantum state--the superconducting state. On the other hand, magnetic order in a metal…
