Correlation-Enhanced Electron-Phonon Coupling: Applications of GW and Screened Hybrid Functional to Bismuthates, Chloronitrides, and Other High-T_{c} Superconductors

We show that the electron-phonon coupling (EPC) in many materials can be significantly underestimated by the standard density-functional theory (DFT) in the local-density approximation (LDA) due to large nonlocal correlation effects. We present a simple yet efficient methodology to evaluate the real...
