Ab Initio Investigation of the Tin Kagome Sublattice and Phonon-Mediated Superconductivity in SrSn3

Abstract Recent studies have shown that the intermetallic compound SrSn3 crystallizes in a layered structure in which Sn atoms form a Kagome framework. As a type-II superconductor with an experimental critical temperature of about 5.5 K, SrSn3 provides an opportunity to examine h...
