摘要
We report a first-principles investigation of the band structures, lattice dynamics and electron-phonon coupling of MgB2 under ultrahigh pressure within the framework of density-functional theory. Reliable lattice parameters at ultrahigh-pressure regime are derived from full ab inito structural optimization. Our electron-phonon coupling results show that the superconducting T-c decreases monotonically to zero with increasing pressure up to 200 GPa. The reduced density of states of B p(x,y) at Fermi level and the enhanced frequency of E-2g phonon mode are suggested to be the main causes for the monotonically decreased T-c.
