Electron-phonon drag in MgB₂ — •Nakib Protik and Claudia Draxl — Institut für Physik and IRIS Adlershof, Humboldt-Universität zu Berlin, Berlin, Germany

MgB₂ is a well known phonon-mediated superconductor with a transition temperature around 40 K. The strong electron-phonon interactions present in the material also give rise to strong drag phenomena, as has been demonstrated experimentally in Refs. [1, 2]. While the measured thermopower in the normal phase shows hole-like transport, there is, however, no consensus regarding the sign and temperature dependence of the drag contribution. In this work, we carry out anisotropic and band-resolved ab initio transport calculations to investigate this puzzle. Our findings will shed light on the roles of the microscopic interactions on the strong drag behavior in metals.
