The ability to realistically simulate the electronic structure of superconducting materials is important to understand and predict various properties emerging in both the superconducting topological and spintronics realms. We introduce a tight-binding implementation of the Bogoliubov–de Gennes method, parameterized from density functional theory, which we utilize to explore the bulk and thin films of Nb, known to host a significant superconducting gap. The latter is useful for various applications such as the exploration of trivial and topological in-gap states. Here, we focus on the simulation’s aspects of superconductivity and study the impact of temperature, Cooper-pair coupling and dimensionality on the value of the superconducting pairing interactions and gaps. |
