TLDR
Using the results of self-consistent augmented-plane-wave bandstructure calculations, electron mass enhancement factors and superconducting transition temperatures have been calculated for V, Nb, nbC, TaC, and HfC as mentioned in this paper.
Abstract
Using the results of self-consistent augmented-plane-wave band-structure calculations, electron mass enhancement factors and superconducting transition temperatures have been calculated for V, Nb, NbC, TaC, and HfC. Good agreement with experiment is obtained.

The Electron-Phonon Interaction in Normal Metals

TL;DR: The influence of the electron-phonon many-body renormalization effects on the electron states in normal metals is reviewed in this article, where the electron mass enhancement parameter λ is discussed.

Electron-phonon coupling in the transition metals: Electronic aspects

TL;DR: In this paper, the electron-phonon coupling parameter was calculated as the product of three factors: the Fermi-energy density of states, $N({E}_{F}), the average of the electron interaction, and an effective inverse lattice force constant.

Dielectric theory of elementary excitations in crystals

TL;DR: In this article, the microscopic theory of dielectric response and its application to elementary excitations is discussed with particular emphasis on periodic solids for which the free-electron description is not valid.

Large-scale 2D PbI2 monolayers: experimental realization and their indirect band-gap related properties

TL;DR: Large-scale PbI2 monolayers and few layers with high crystallinity and a uniform hexagonal shape were synthesized via a facile physical vapour deposition (PVD) method, verified by photoluminescence (PL) spectra, optoelectronic properties, and first principle calculations.

FP-LAPW investigation of electronic structure of TaN and TaC compounds

TL;DR: In this paper, the structural and electronic properties of tantalum compounds were studied by means of accurate first principle total energy calculations using the full-potential linearized augmented plane wave plus local orbitals (FP-LAPW+lo) method.
