Electron-phonon interactions and related physical properties of metals from linear-response theory
Spectral distribution functions of electron-phonon interaction $\alpha^2F(\omega )$ obtained by ab initio linear--response calculations are used to describe various superconducting and transport properties in a number of elemental metals such as Al,Cu,Mo,Nb,Pb,Pd,Ta, and V. Their lattice dynamics and self-consistently screened electron-phonon coupling are evaluated within local density functional theory and …
