Abstract Electron-phonon coupling (EPC) in the three high-pressure phases of Ba is investigated using a pseudopotential plane-wave method based on density functional perturbation theory. The calculated values of superconducting critical temperature Tc of Ba-I and Ba-II under pressure are consistent well with the trends observed experimentally. Moreover, Ba-V is found to be superconducting with a maximum Tc exceeding 7.8 K at 45 GPa. With the increase of pressure, the values of Tc increase in Ba I and Ba-II but the value of Tc decreases in Ba-V. For Ba-I at pressures below 2 GPa, the increases of logarithmic average frequency ωlog and electron-phonon coupling parameters λ both contribute to the enhancement of Tc. For all the three phases at pressures above 2 GPa, Tc is found to be primarily determined by λ. Further investigation reveals that for all the three phases, the change in λ with pressure can be explained mainly by change in the phonon frequency. Thus for Ba-II and Ba-V, although they exhibit completely different superconducting behaviors, their superconductivities have the same origin; the pressure dependence of Tc is determined finally by the pressure dependence of phonon frequency.

Online attention
Altmetric calculates a score based on the online attention an article receives. Each coloured thread in the circle represents a different type of online attention. The number in the centre is the Altmetric score. Social media and mainstream news media are the main sources that calculate the score. Reference managers such as Mendeley are also tracked but do not contribute to the score. Older articles often score higher because they have had more time to get noticed. To account for this, Altmetric has included the context data for other articles of a similar age.
