Deskripsi

Usually the coupling between polar phonons and itinerant electrons is weak in polar metals. Here, the authors show that in doped ferroelectrics (approximate polar metals), this coupling can be increased across the structural phase transition and as a result, phonon-mediated superconductivity emerges.
