Undamped plasmon modes and enhanced superconductivity in metal diborides
The anisotropic geometric and electronic structures of metal diborides ( M B _2 ) leads to many unusual optical and electronic properties. Here, we present a first-principles study on the low-energy collective electronic excitations and the superconducting performance of the M B _2 ( M = Be, Mg, Al,...
