Based on the first-principles calculations, we study the electron-phonon scattering effect on the resistivity in the zirconium dichalcogenides, $\text{Zr}_{}\text{S}_{2}$ and $\text{Zr}_{}\text{Se}_{2}$, whose electronic band structures…
Characterization of the first ever laboratory produced metallic hydrogen sample relies on measurements of optical spectra. Here we present first-principles calculations of the reflectivity of hydrogen between 400 and 600 GPa in the…
Fundamental upper bounds on the electron-phonon interaction strength and superconducting transition temperature $T_c$ in metals are established based on the intrinsic instability of the equilibrium between electrons and the crystal lattice…
The elasticity, dynamic properties, and superconductivity of $\alpha$, $\omega$, and $\beta$ Zr are investigated by using first-principles methods. Our calculated elastic constants, elastic moduli, and Debye temperatures of $\alpha$ and…
We present first-principles calculations of metallic atomic hydrogen in the 400-600 GPa pressure range in a tetragonal structure with space group $I4_1/amd$, which is predicted to be its first atomic phase. Our calculations show a band…
A 2D temperature-dependent effective potential is calculated for the interacting longitudinal and transverse $L-$phonons of $\beta$ zirconium in the frozen-phonon model. The effective potentials obtained for different temperatures are used…
Zirconium hydride is an important material for storage of hydrogen isotopes. Here we report the structural, electronic, vibrational and thermodynamic properties of ZrH2, ZrD2 and ZrT2 using density functional theory (DFT). The structural…
Electron--phonon (e--ph) coupling governs electrical resistivity, hot-carrier cooling, and critically, thermal transport in solids. Recent first-principles advances now predict e--ph limited thermal conductivity from d-band metals and…
Electron-phonon interaction has been well known to create major resistance to electron transport in metals and semiconductors, whereas less studies were directed to its effect on the phonon transport, especially in semiconductors. We…
To understand the pressure-induced changes in the electronic structure and the electron-phonon interaction in yttrium, we have studied hexagonal close-packed (hcp) yttrium, stable at ambient pressure and double hexagonal close-packed (dhcp)…
We investigate the influence of hydrogen on the electronic structure of a binary transition metallic glass of V$_{80}$Zr$_{20}$. We examine the hybridization between the hydrogen and metal atoms with the aid of hard x-ray photoelectron…
The mechanisms for strong electron-phonon coupling predicted for hydrogen-rich alloys with high superconducting critical temperature ($T_c$) are examined within the Migdal-Eliashberg theory. Analysis of the functional derivative of $T_c$…
Hydrogen embrittlement in zirconium alloys is one of current challenges of nuclear reactor containment and can lead to a rapid decrease in mechanical properties of materials. Although many previous studies investigated the mechanism of…
In this paper we report the results of electrical resistivity (1.5K < T <300K) and point contact spectroscopy (PCS) measurements on single crystals of metallic sodium tungsten bronze with varying sodium content. We have shown that the…
Magnetization measurements under hydrostatic pressure up to 10.5 kbar in zirconium dodecaboride ZrB$_{12}$ superconductor ($T_c\simeq6.0$ K at $p=0$) were carried out. A negative pressure effect on $T_c$ with ${\rm d} T_c/{\rm d} p…
Linear response methods are applied to identify the increase in electron-phonon coupling in elemental yttrium that is responsible for its high superconducting critical temperature Tc, which reaches nearly 20 K at 115 GPa. While the…
We present a first-principles study of the temperature- and density-dependent intrinsic electrical resistivity of graphene. We use density-functional theory and density-functional perturbation theory together with very accurate Wannier…
The strength of the electron-phonon coupling parameter and its evolution throughout a solid's phase diagram often determines phenomena such as superconductivity, charge- and spin-density waves. Its experimental determination relies on the…
Using full-potential, density-functional-based methods we have studied electron-phonon interaction in ZrB2 and TaB2 in P6/mmm crystal structure. Our results for phonon density of states and Eliashberg function show that the electron-phonon…
Current phonon transport theory based on ground-state calculations has been successful in predicting thermal conductivity at room and medium temperatures but may misrepresent behavior at high temperatures. In this work, we predict the…
