Ab initio study of the interplay between superconductivity and magnetic fields in MgB2 — •Alexandros Aperis, Pablo Maldonado, and Peter M. Oppeneer — Uppsala University, Uppsala, Sweden

Among the bulk superconductors broadly accepted to be mediated by phonons, MgB2 exhibits a record high critical temperature of Tc=39 K. The relatively simple crystal structure of this material makes it an ideal platform to investigate fundamental phenomena, such as the interplay between superconductivity and the Zeeman effect, at the ab initio level. Here we combine DFT calculations providing electronic band and phonon dispersions with numerical solutions of the fully anisotropic Eliashberg equations, to provide a complete picture of the modification of the two-band superconductivity in this compound at finite external magnetic fields and temperature. We predict interesting signatures in the HT phase diagram which could be experimentally probed.
