Electronic Structure, Electron-Lattice Interaction and Lattice Dynamics in fcc Solid Bromine

Abstract

First-principles calculations are performed for electronic structure, electron-lattice inteeaction and lattice dynamics of fcc solid bromine under high pressures, and the pressure dependence of superconducting transition temperature T_c is calculated. Many aspects of the obtained results are similar to those of fcc solid iodine, and in particular T_c decreases with increasing pressure.
