摘要: Very recently, a new Ni-based antiperovskite nitride superconductor CuNNi3 has been successfully synthesized. We investigate the electronic structures, phonon dispersions, and electron–phonon interactions of CuNNi3 and the isostructual ZnNNi3 by first-principles approach. By analyzing the Eliashberg function we obtain the superconducting transition temperature Tc 3.16 K (3.53 K), which is in good agreement with corresponding experimental Tc 3.2 K (3 K) for CuNNi3 (ZnNNi3). They can be verified as conventional phonon-mediated superconductors.
