Contrasts LaNiPO with high-temperature FeAs superconductors.

First principles calculations support the conventional mechanism.

Abstract

We report first principles calculations of the electronic structure, phonon dispersions and electron phonon coupling of LaNiPO. These calculations show that this material can be explained as a conventional electron phonon superconductor in contrast to the FeAs based high temperature superconductors.
