Journal ArticleDOI

Ab initio theory of superconductivity. I. Density functional formalism and approximate functionals

TL;DR: In this paper, an approach to the description of superconductors in thermal equilibrium is developed within a formally exact density functional framework, formulated in terms of three "densities": the ordinary electron density, the superconducting order parameter, and the diagonal of the nuclear N-body density matrix.
Journal ArticleDOI

Ab initio theory of superconductivity. II. Application to elemental metals

TL;DR: In this paper, the density functional theory for superconductors is applied to the calculation of superconducting properties of several elemental metals and the results for the transition temperature, for the gap at zero temperature, and for thermodynamic properties like the specific heat are obtained.
Journal ArticleDOI

Reduced density matrix functional for many-electron systems

TL;DR: In this paper, a reduced density matrix functional theory for the case of solids is presented and an exchange-correlation functional based on a fractional power of the density matrix is introduced.
Journal ArticleDOI

Superconductivity in lithium, potassium, and aluminum under extreme pressure: a first-principles study

TL;DR: The results show an unprecedented agreement with experiments, assess the predictive power of the method over a wide range of densities and electron-phonon couplings, and provide predictions for K, where no experiments exist so far.
Journal ArticleDOI

Superconducting properties of MgB2 from first principles

TL;DR: In this paper, the role of gap anisotropy over the Fermi surface (multi-gap superconductivity) was investigated using density functional theory for superconductors.
