First-principles study on elastic and superconducting properties of Nb3Sn and Nb3Al under hydrostatic pressure

The low temperature superconducting materials, such as Nb3Sn and Nb3Al, have similar crystal structures and elastic properties. However, their critical-temperature degradations always show the distinct way under mechanical stresses. In this study, first-principles calculations for the low temperatur...
