Universal Phonon-Mediated Superconductivity in Compressed Metal Monochalcogenides beyond Anderson Localization
Author(s): Ertuğrul Karaca, Fang Hong, and Daniel Errandonea
High-pressure superconductivity in metal monochalcogenides has been ascribed to disorder-driven Anderson localization [Phys. Rev. Lett. 134, 196001 (2025)]. Using density-functional perturbation theory and Migdal-Eliashberg calculations, we show that superconductivity in BiSe, PbSe, PbS, and HgS is … [Phys. Rev.
