For orthorhombic superconductors we define thermodynamic anisotropy $N \equiv d T_c/d \epsilon_{22} - dT_c/d \epsilon_{11}$ as the difference in how superconducting $T_c$ varies with strains $\epsilon_{ii}$, $i=(1, 2)$, along the in-plane…

Superconducting SrTiO_{3-\delta} was obtained by annealing single crystalline SrTiO_3 samples in ultra high vacuum. An analysis of the V(I) characteristics revealed very small critical currents I_c which can be traced back to a unavoidable…

We have performed high-resolution angle-resolved photoemission spectroscopy on Fe-based superconductor LiFeAs (Tc = 18 K). We reveal multiple nodeless superconducting (SC) gaps with 2D/kBTc ratios varying from 2.8 to 6.4, depending on the…

We report measurements of the temperature dependence of both in-plane and out-of-plane penetration depths ($\lambda_a$ and $\lambda_c$ respectively) in 2\textit{H}-NbSe$_2$. Measurements were made with a radio-frequency tunnel diode…

Although 2011 marks the 50th anniversary of Nb3Sn as the first high field superconductor, real understanding of its upper critical field behavior {\mu}0Hc2 is incomplete. Here we show surprising {\mu}0Hc2 data on highly homogeneous bulk…

We report a systematic study of the normal-state and superconducting properties of single crystal Pb$_{1-x}$Sn$_{x}$TaSe$_{2}$ $(0\leq x \leq 0.23)$. Sn doping enhances the superconducting temperature $T_{c}$ up to 5.1 K while also…

We present the first $ab$-$initio$ study of superconductivity in NbTi, the workhorse for many applications. Despite its apparent simplicity, NbTi turns out to be a major challenge for computational superconductivity. In fact, anharmonic…

We combine the fully anisotropic Migdal-Eliashberg theory with electron-phonon interpolation based on maximally-localized Wannier functions, in order to perform reliable and highly accurate calculations of the anisotropic…

We show that a two-band model with ${\bf k}$-dependent superconducting gaps well describes the transmission and optical conductivity measured for MgB$_2$ thin films. It is also shown that the two-band anisotropic model consistently…

A one-third monolayer of the heavy metals Sn and Pb deposited on semiconductor substrates can lead to a $\sqrt{3}\times\sqrt{3}$ surface reconstruction, constituting an exciting triangular lattice material platform. A long history of…

Relying on the anharmonic special displacement method, we introduce an ab initio quasistatic polymorphous framework to describe local disorder, anharmonicity, and electron-phonon coupling in superionic conductors. Using the example of cubic…

The nature and symmetry of the superconducting gap function in the noncentrosymmetric superconductor (NCS) Li2Pt3B, even many years after its discovery, appears to be full of contradictions. In this letter based on the existing band…

2$H$-NbS$_2$ is a classic example of an anisotropic multi-band superconductor, with significant recent work focussing on the interesting responses seen when high magnetic fields are applied precisely parallel to the hexagonal niobium…

The discovery of high-$T_c$ superconductivity (SC) in La$_3$Ni$_2$O$_7$ (LNO) has aroused a great deal of interests. Previously, it was proposed that the Ni-$3d_{z^2}$ orbital is crucial to realize the high-$T_c$ SC in LNO: The preformed…

The report on the near-ambient superconductivity in a nitrogen-doped lutetium hydride has stimulated great interest in this material (Dasenbrock-Gammon et al. 2023). While its superconductivity is still a subject of debate, the structure of…

We present a comprehensive first-principles investigation of a hypothetical cubic Pm-3m phase of the ternary hydride NaAlH3, focusing on its lattice dynamics, electronic structure, and electron-phonon-mediated superconducting properties at…

The transition metal nitride BaHfN$_2$, which consists of weakly bonded neutral slabs of closed shell ions, has structural and chemical similarities to other layered nitrides which have impressive superconducting T$_c$ when electron doped:…

We explore the physical properties of a unified microscopic theory for the coexistence of superconductivity and charge density waves in two-dimensional transition metal dichalcogenides. In the case of particle-hole symmetry the elementary…

Superconductivity of doped SrTiO3 is proven to be a particular case of the broader concept of the non-adiabatic pairing mediated by phonons with frequency comparable or larger the Fermi energy. We argue that, for carrier concentrations…

First-principles calculations were carried out to provide a chemical basis for proposed structures associated with the recently reported room-temperature superconductivity in a carbonaceous sulfur hydride material under pressure.…
