Abstract

We show, using density functional calculations, that quasi-one-dimensional K2Mo3As3, which is closely related to K2Cr3As3 and has very similar superconducting properties, is not close to magnetism and has conventional s wave electron-phonon superconductivity. This superconductivity is of multigap character due to different coupling on different Fermi surface sheets. This is discussed in relation to the properties of this family of quasi-one-dimensional pnictide superconductors. The results show that this family of superconductors provides a unique opportunity for studying the interplay of spin fluctuations and electron-phonon superconductivity in transition metal pnictides, and offer a path for sorting out the different proposed superconducting scenarios in this fascinating family of pnictide superconductors.
