By drilling periodic thru-holes in a suspended film, the phonon system can be modified. Being motivated by the BCS theory, the technique, so-called phonon engineering, was applied to a niobium sheet. The newly emergent high-$T_{c}$…
Predicting the critical temperature $T_c$ of new superconductors is a notoriously difficult task, even for electron-phonon paired superconductors for which the theory is relatively well understood. Early attempts by McMillan and Allen and…
The method of the space dependent basis is applied to study electronic spinors in a crystal. The crystal in the momentum space is described by the Brillouine zone which might contains obstructions or degeneracies for which requires…
Superconductivity has been the focus of enormous research effort since its discovery more than a century ago. Yet, some features of this unique phenomenon remain poorly understood; prime among these is the connection between…
The density functional theory for superconductors developed in the preceding article [cond-mat/0408685] is applied to the calculation of superconducting properties of several elemental metals. In particular, we present results for the…
Topology in general but also topological objects such as monopoles are a central concept in physics. They are prime examples for the intriguing physics of gauge theories and topological states of matter. Vector monopoles are already…
We critically reexamine the superconducting properties of rock-salt transition-metal carbides (TMCs), often regarded as textbook conventional superconductors, combining first-principles electron-phonon calculations with variable-composition…
The topology of an insulator can be defined even when all eigenstates of the system are localized - an extreme case of Anderson insulators that we call ultra-localized. We derive the classification of such ultra-localized insulators in all…
Collective modes in two dimensional topological superconductors are studied by an extended random phase approximation theory while considering the influence of vector field of light. In two situations, the s-wave superconductors without…
Previous theoretical studies on superconductivity were focused on the static states and adiabatic processes. Quantum mechanics simulations of time-dependent processes in superconductors were rarely performed previously. Here we use…
We discuss a topological classification of insulators and superconductors in the presence of both (non-spatial) discrete symmetries in the Altland-Zirnbauer classification and spatial reflection symmetry in any spatial dimensions. By using…
The topological invariant of a topological insulator (or superconductor) is given by the number of symmetry-protected edge states present at the Fermi level. Despite this fact, established expressions for the topological invariant require…
The superconducting parameters are the key for building or identifying the theory responsible for the mechanism of superconductivity. Such parameters for fulleride superconductors have not been well established despite the tremendous…
A theory of the frequency dependence of the interplane conductivity of a strongly anisotropic superconductor is presented. The form of the conductivity is shown to be a sensitive probe of the strength of quantum and thermal fluctuations of…
Using the Tc formula given by BCS, together with a shear modulus varying with the numbering of planes, we can demonstrate that Tc oscillates depending on the number of the cuprate planes. The maximum of Tc in these oscillations appears for…
We propose a new mixed-mechanism for superconductors, which addresses not only low- but also high-, and even possible room-temperature superconductivity. We use this mixed-mechanism to explain superconductivity in different temperature…
How to determine the symmetry of the superconducting order parameter is one of the important issues in novel superconductors, which include charge conjugated organic superconductors. We have proposed that the angular dependence of the…
A review is given for the theoretical framework to give a reliable prediction of the superconducting transition temperature Tc from first principles, together with a practical strategy for its application to actual materials with…
Striped phases in which spin and charge separate into different regions in the material have been proposed to account for the unusual properties of the high-$T_c$ cuprate superconductors. The driving force for a striped phase is the charge…
We present a percolation theory for the high-$T_c$ oxides pseudogap and $T_c$ dependence on the hole level. The doping dependent inhomogeneous charge structure is modeled by a distribution which may represent the stripe morphology and yield…
