Effect of hydrostatic pressure on superconductivity of MgB2

The effect of hydrostatic pressure on superconductivity of hexagonal bulk MgB2 was investigated using the first-principles calculations. The calculations were performed based on the density functional theory employing the very recently developed EPW code incorporated in Quantum ESPRESSO computationa...
