摘要:Accurate and practical ab initio treatment of electron-phonon (e-ph) coupling is essential to the understanding of many condensed-matter phenomena. In this talk, I will present a new ab initio linear-response method named GW perturbation theory (GWPT) that computes the e-ph interaction with the inclusion of the GW nonlocal, energy-dependent self-energy effects [1]. GWPT goes beyond the commonly used density-functional perturbation theory (DFPT), which is inadequate in some materials where correlation effects are non-negligible. We first demonstrate the capability of GWPT by showing that the e-ph coupling in Ba1-xKxBiO3 is significantly enhanced by many-electron correlations, strong enough to explain its high superconducting Tc of 32 K [1]. Secondly, using full GW-level anisotropic Eliashberg equation calculations, we predict that the recently discovered infinite-layer nickelate superconductor Nd1-xSrxNiO2 hosts a strong phonon-mediate two-gap s-wave superconductivity, explaining some intriguing experimental observations [2]. Thirdly, we study the ubiquitous 70-meV dispersion kink in cuprates observed in angle-resolved photoemission experiments, and show that the correlation-enhanced e-ph interaction in La2-xSrxCuO4 gives rise to strong nodal kinks and their temperature and doping dependence in quantitative agreement with experiments [3].
