Abstract
We use a first-principles based self-consistent momentum-resolved density fluctuation (MRDF) model to compute the combined effects of electron-electron and electron-phonon interactions to describe the superconducting dome in the correlated thin flake and . We find that without including the electron-electron interaction, the electron-phonon coupling and the superconducting transition temperature () are overestimated in both these materials. However, once the full angular and dynamical fluctuations of the spin and charge density induced quasiparticle self-energy effects are included, the electron-phonon coupling and are reduced to the experimental value. With doping, both electronic correlation and electron-phonon coupling grows, and above some doping value, the former becomes so large that it starts to reduce the quasiparticle-phonon coupling constant and , creating a superconducting dome, in agreement with experiments.
