The discovery of superconductivity in MgB2 has initiated a thorough search for new electron-phonon (e−ph) superconductors, particulary among hexagonal layered compounds.
In this talk I will describe, using ab-initio methods, the electron-phonon properties of two classes of recently discovered superconductors, namely alkali-earth intercalated graphites (highest Tc 15.1 K for CaC6)and metal-intercalated ternary compounds of the form: MaAlSi (highest Tc=7.8 K for CaAlSi).
