We numerically investigate the Spin Density Functional theory for superconductors (SpinSCDFT) and the approximated exchange-correlation functional, derived and presented in the preceding paper I. As a test system we employ a free electron gas featuring an exchange-splitting, a phononic pairing field and a Coulomb repulsion. SpinSCDFT results are compared with Sarma, the Bardeen Cooper and Schrieffer theory and with an Eliashberg type of approach. We find that the spectrum of the superconducting Kohn-Sham SpinSCDFT system is not in agreement with the true quasi particle structure. Therefore, starting from the Dyson equation, we derive a scheme that allows to compute the many body excitations of the superconductor and represents the extension to superconductivity of the G0W0 method in band structure theory. This superconducting G0 W0 method vastly improves the predicted spectra.

We present a first-principles approach to describe magnetic and superconducting systems and the phenomena of competition between these electronic effects. We develop a density functional theory: SpinSCDFT, by extending the Hohenberg-Kohn theorem and constructing the non-interacting Kohn- Sham system. An exchange-correlation functional for SpinSCDFT is derived from the Sham Schluter connection between the SpinSCDFT Kohn-Sham and a self-energy in Eliashberg approximation. The reference Eliashberg equations for superconductors in the presence of magnetism are also derived and discussed.
We extend the two leading methods for the emph{ab initio} computational descrip tion of phonon-mediated superconductors, namely Eliashberg theory and density fu nctional theory for superconductors (SCDFT), to include plasmonic effects. Furth ermore, we introduce a hybrid formalism in which the Eliashberg approximation fo r the electron-phonon coupling is combined with the SCDFT treatment of the dynam ically screened Coulomb interaction. The methods have been tested on a set of we ll-known conventional superconductors by studying how the plasmon contribution a ffects the phononic mechanism in determining the critical temperature (tc). Our simulations show that plasmonic SCDFT leads to a good agreement between predict ed and measured tcs, whereas Eliashberg theory considerably overestimates the plasmon-mediated pairing and, therefore, tc. The hybrid approach, on the other hand, gives results close to SCDFT and overall in excellent agreement with exper iments.
We report the first-principles study of superconducting critical temperature and superconducting properties of Fe-based superconductors taking into account on the same footing phonon, charge and spin-fluctuation mediated Cooper pairing. We show that in FeSe this leads to a modulated s$pm$ gap symmetry, and that the antiferromagnetic paramagnons are the leading mechanism for superconductivity in FeSe, overcoming the strong repulsive effect of both phonons and charge pairing.

We study within a first-principle approach the band structure, vibrational modes and electron-phonon coupling in boron, aluminum and phosphorus doped silicon in the diamond phase. Our results provide evidences that the recently discovered superconduc ting transition in boron doped cubic silicon can be explained within a standard phonon-mediated mechanism. The importance of lattice compression and dopant related stretching modes are emphasized. We find that T$_C$ can be increased by one order of magnitude by adopting aluminum doping instead of boron.
We report on first principles calculations of superconductivity in a single layer of lead on a silicon substrate including a full treatment of phononic and RPA screened coulomb interactions within the parameter free framework of Density Functional Th eory for superconductors. A thorough investigation shows that several approximations that are commonly valid in bulk systems fail in this constrained 2D geometry. The calculated critical temperature turns out to be much higher than the experimental value of 1.86K. We argue that the only plausible explanation for the experimental Tc suppression is the onset of fluctuations of the superconducting order parameter.
