We uncover how anharmonic lattice dynamics drive charge order and enable phonon-mediated superconductivity in the kagome metal CsV₃Sb₅ Kagome metals have emerged as a fascinating platform […]
Ion Errea talks in the radio about the perspectives on superconductivity You can find the conversation with Guillermo Roa in the Norteko Ferrokarrila radio show in […]
Quantum lattice anharmonicity makes it thermodynamically stable at only 25 GPa and metastable down to ambient pressure, where his critical temperature is around 100 kelvin In […]
Last 5 December 2024, Josu Diego successfully defended his thesis entitled “Anharmonic Effects in Two-Dimensional Systems: Charge Density Wave Transitions and Their Mechanical Stability” In his […]
Last 22 July 2024 Martin Gutierrez-Amigo successfully defended his thesis entitled “Lattice effects and phase transitions in topological materials” In his PhD thesis, Martin investigated lattice […]
Understanding why graphene and all 2D materials are stable remains in some ways unsolved. In our recently paper published in Nature Physics we bring together novel […]
Florette returns to Cameroon From May of last year, our research group had the pleasure of hosting Florette Fobasso, a brilliant Postdoc from the University of […]
In this seminar Ion Errea reviews the state-of-the-art of the field of superconductivity in a seminar given at the ICMM institute in Madrid
For 3 months last autumn, our group received the visit of Jan Phillips, a PhD student from Victor Pardo’s group in Universidade de Santiago de Compostela. […]
Last 4 April 2023 Antonella Meninno successfully defended her thesis entitled “Ab initio study of hydrogen based superconducting compounds at ambient pressure”. Throughout her PhD thesis […]
In this seminar the discovery of the correlation of a simple parameter based on the electron localization function and the superconducting critical temperature of hydrides is […]
Last 16 December 2022 Francesco Belli successfully defended his thesis entitled “Characterization of hydrogen based superconductors from first principles”. As Francesco fantastically explained, in the first […]
The paper shows that the occupation of tetrahedral interstitial sites is possible in metastable states, but it suppresses superconductivity. Palladium hydrides are one of the rare […]
Here we share a simple Python script to read daily the arXiv and get an email filtering the abstracts according to some keywords A researcher’s every […]
In our last group lunch at Txirain gastronomical society, we had the pleasure to enjoy the best Chinese food in San Sebastian thanks to our postdoc […]
A work led by Phillip Moll’s group from the Max Planck in Hamburg in which we contribute gets published in Nature. This post is adapted from […]
The world’s largest conference in electronic structure this year is undoubtedly the Psi-k event. This summer it was held in the city of Lausanne, in Switzerland, […]
Through the analysis of a large set of hydrogen based superconductors, the authors identify that a large degree of electronic localization in the interstitial sites is […]
After a long time without any social activity in the group for obvious reasons, on the 26th of October we visited the Albaola museum in Pasai […]
