Superconducting properties from first principles calculations : an ab-initio study of the properties of superconductors under perturbations

Superconductors are commonly used in many magnet systems available to day. One of the most popular is Nb3Sn, due to its high upper critical field and uncomplicated structure. It is however, not particularly well under stood at the microscopic scale with respect to grain boundaries and strain. Grain b...
