Abstract Recently, Bi-based compounds have attracted attentions because of the strong spin-orbit coupling (SOC). In this work, we figured out the role of SOC in ABi3 (A = Sr and Ba) by theoretical investigation of the band structures, phonon properties, and electron-phonon coupling. Without SOC, strong Fermi surface nesting leads to phonon instabilities in ABi3. SOC suppresses the nesting and stabilizes the structure. Moreover, without SOC the calculation largely underestimates the superconducting transition temperatures (T c ), while with SOC the calculated T c are very close to those determined by measurements on single crystal samples. The SOC enhanced superconductivity in ABi3 is due to not only the SOC induced phonon softening, but also the SOC related increase of electron-phonon coupling matrix elements. ABi3 can be potential platforms to construct heterostructure of superconductor/topological insulator to realize topological superconductivity.

The spin polarization of polarons in quasi-1D organic materials has been investigated by using the extended Su–Schrieffer–Heeger (SSH) model with spin-orbit coupling. Results show that the polaron is partly spin polarized, and that the electron–electron interaction and spin-orbit coupling compete with each other during the formation of spin polarization. The dependence of spin polarization on electron–phonon coupling is also revealed. Our results demonstrate that spin polarization is well correlated with polaron localization, thus providing useful guidance for exploring magnetic effects in organic materials.
