We discuss the possibility of superconductivity in graphene taking into account both electron-phonon and electron-electron Coulomb interactions. The analysis is carried out assuming that the Fermi energy is far away from the Dirac points, such that the density of the particles (electrons or holes) is high. We derive proper Eliashberg equations that allow us to estimate the critical superconducting temperature. The most favorable is pairing of electrons belonging to different valleys in the spectrum. Using values of electron-phonon coupling estimated in other publications we obtain the critical temperature T_c as a function of the electron (hole) density. This temperature can reach the order of 10 K at the Fermi energy of order 1-2 eV. We show that the dependence of the intervalley pairing on the impurity concentration should be weak.

In strontium titanate, the Froehlich electron - LO-phonon interaction dominates the electron response and can also provide superconductivity. Because of high LO-phonon frequencies in SrTiO3, the superconducting system is non-adiabatic. We demonstrate that the dielectric function approach is an adequate theoretical method for superconductivity in SrTiO3 and on the SrTiO3-LaAlO3 interface. The critical temperatures are calculated using realistic material parameters. The obtained critical temperatures are in line with experimental data both for bulk and interface superconductivity. The present method explains the observed multi-dome shape of the critical temperature in SrTiO3 as a function of the electron concentration due to multiband superconductivity.
Unconventional superconductivity is commonly linked to electronic pairing mechanisms, since it is believed that the conventional electron-phonon interaction (EPI) cannot cause sign-changing superconducting gap symmetries. Here, we show that this comm on understanding needs to be revised when one considers a more elaborate theory of electron-phonon superconductivity beyond standard approximations. We selfconsistently solve the full-bandwidth, anisotropic Eliashberg equations including vertex corrections beyond Migdals approximation assuming the usual isotropic EPI for cuprate, Fe-based and heavy-fermion superconductors with nested Fermi surfaces. In case of the high-$T_c$ cuprates we find a $d$-wave order parameter, as well as a nematic state upon increased doping. For Fe-based superconductors, we obtain $s_{pm}$ gap symmetry, while for heavy-fermion CeCoIn$_5$ we find unconventional $d$-wave pairing. These results provide a proof-of-concept that EPI cannot be excluded as a mediator of unconventional and of high-$T_c$ superconductivity.

We investigate the interplay of the electron-phonon and the spin fluctuation interaction for the superconducting state of YBa$_2$Cu$_3$O$_{7}$. The spin fluctuations are described within the nearly antiferromagnetic Fermi liquid theory, whereas the p honons are treated using a shell model calculation of all phonon branches. The electron-phonon coupling is calculated using rigidly displaced ionic potentials screened by a background dielectric constant $epsilon_infty$ and by holes within the CuO$_2$ planes. Taking into account both interactions we get a superconducting state with $d_{x^2-y^2}$-symmetry, whose origin are antiferromagnetic spin fluctuations. The investigation of all phonon modes of the system shows that the phononic contribution to the d-wave pairing interaction is attractive. This is a necessary prerequisite for a positive isotope effect. The size of the isotope exponent depends strongly on the relative strength of the electron-phonon and spin fluctuation coupling. Due to the strong electronic correlations no phononic induced superconducting state, which is always of s-wave character, is possible.

We report first principles calculations of the electronic structure, phonon dispersions and electron phonon coupling of LaNiPO. These calculations show that this material can be explained as a conventional electron phonon superconductor in contrast to the FeAs based high temperature superconductors.

The effect of the resonance of electron scattering energy difference and phonon energy on the electron-phonon-electron interaction (EPEI) is studied. Results show that the resonance of electron transition energy and phonon energy can enhance EPEI by a magnitude of 1 to 2. Moreover, the anisotropic S-wave electron or dx2-y2 electron can enhance resonance EPEI, and the self-energy correction of the electron will weaken resonance EPEI. Particularly, the asymmetrical spin-flip scattering process in k space can reduce the effect of electronic self-energy to enhance resonance EPEI
