报告摘要

　　While superconducting transition temperature (T_c) is one of the critical quantities characterizing superconductors, its calculation from first principles has been a challenge in computational materials science. For conventional superconductors mediated by phonons, we must consider the mass enhancement effect and the retardation effect. To take account of these two effects, we must solve the Eliashberg equation self-consistently, taking account of the significant difference in the energy scale of electrons and phonons. While the numerical cost to solve the Eliashberg equation from first principles has been extremely expensive, we recently developed an efficient scheme based on the intermediate representation of the Green's function. On the other hand, due to the strong Coulomb repulsion, the gap function of unconventional superconductors is usually anisotropic and has sign changes in the Brillouin zone. To treat this anisotropy, we have to consider spatial fluctuations in correlated electron systems. One promising approach is the dynamical vertex approximation, a diagrammatic extension of the dynamical mean-field approximation. In this talk, our recent calculations of T_c for conventional superconductors such as elemental metals and hydrides and that for unconventional superconductors such as Ni- and Pd-based superconductors will be discussed.
