Summary
• MgB2 is a multi-gap, phonon-mediated superconductor
• Large electron-phonon coupling of the σ boron states responsible for high Tc
• Need to solve the k-dependent Eliashberg equations to obtain the correct Tc and other quantities
• First-principles results explained Tc, specific heat, isotope t h t i i t li d th d texponents, photoemission, tunneling, and other data
• Theory predicts at least 2 dominant superconducting gap values at low temperature and the two gap feature is robustvalues at low temperature, and the two-gap feature is robust against pressure, doping and impurity scattering.
