Coupling between electrons and phonons (lattice vibrations) drives the formation of the electron pairs responsible for conventional superconductivity. The lack of direct evidence for electron-phonon coupling in the electron dynamics of the…
Bulk n-type SrTiO3 (STO) has long been known to possess a superconducting ground state at an exceptionally dilute carrier density. This has raised questions about the applicability of the BCS-Eliashberg paradigm with its underlying…
Recently, Troyan et al (2019 arXiv:1908.01534) and Kong et al (2019 arXiv:1909.10482) extended near-room-temperature superconductors family by new yttrium superhydride polymorphs, YHn (n = 4,6,7,9), which exhibit superconducting transition…
In our recent paper entitled "Pairing mechanism of high-temperature superconductivity: Experimental constraints" (to be published in Physica Scripta, arXiv:1012.2368), we review some crucial experiments that place strong constraints on the…
We study analytic solutions to the Bardeen-Cooper-Schrieffer (BCS) gap equation for isotropic superconductors with finite-range interaction potentials over the full range of temperatures from absolute zero to the superconducting critical…
It is widely accepted that phonon-mediated high-temperature superconductivity is impossible at ambient pressure, because of the very large effective masses of polarons/bipolarons at strong electron-phonon coupling. Here we challenge this…
This contribution provides a partial response to the titular statement since, it will be claimed,the ``why'' is not yet understood, but there is a pathway for achieving a more complete understanding. The sense of the community has been…
Superconductivity in compressed H3S arises from the interplay between high-frequency phonons and a pronounced van Hove singularity near the Fermi level. Using first-principles calculations, we investigate the superconducting properties of…
The Bardeen-Cooper-Schrieffer (BCS) functional has recently received renewed attention as a description of fermionic gases interacting with local pairwise interactions. We present here a rigorous analysis of the BCS functional for general…
We have found that body-centered cubic (bcc) HfMoNbTiZr is a type-II BCS high-entropy alloy (HEA) superconductor with a superconducting critical temperature of $T_\mathrm{c}$=4.1 K. By employing a Debye temperature $\theta_\mathrm{D}$ of…
We developed a weak-linked Josephson junction time-domain simulation tool based on the Bardeen-Cooper-Schrieffer (BCS) theory to account for the electrodynamics of Cooper pairs and quasiparticles in the presence of thermal noise. The model,…
Palladium hydrides exhibit the largest isotope-effect anomaly in superconductivity: replacing hydrogen with heavier isotopes increases the superconducting critical temperature. Although this behavior is commonly attributed to strong…
Several decades after the discovery of superconductivity in bismuthates, the strength of their electron-phonon coupling and its evolution with doping remain puzzling. To clarify these issues, polycrystalline hole-doped…
The structural, electronic, lattice dynamics, electron-phonon coupling, and superconducting properties of the alkali-metal hydride RbH, metalized through electron-doping by the construction of the solid-solution Rb$_{1-x}$Sr$_x$H, are…
We report on a comparative study of the electronic structure, phonon spectra, and superconducting properties for recently discovered superconducting hydrides, H3S and H3P. While the electronic structures of these two materials are similar,…
The doping dependent isotope effect on the critical temperature (Tc) is calculated for multi-band multi-condensate superconductivity near a 2.5 Lifshitz transition. We focus on multi-band effects that arises in nano-structures and in…
Detailed temperature dependence of both superconducting gaps was obtained directly by means of SnS-Andreev spectroscopy. The \Delta \sigma,\pi(T) -curves were shown to be deviated from standard BCS-like behavior, due to k-space proximity…
In conventional metals, electron-phonon coupling, or the phonon-mediated interaction between electrons, has long been known to be the pairing interaction responsible for the superconductivity. The strength of this interaction essentially…
Recent experimental discoveries show that hydrogen-rich compounds can reach room temperature superconductivity, at least at high pressures. Also that there exist metallic hydrogen-abundant systems with critical temperatures of few Kelvin,…
Phonon spectrum of many superconducting compounds and, especially, high Tc hydrides, is broad and rather complicated ,because of presence of high frequency optical modes. In order to analyze an interplay of optical and acoustic phonon…
