Abstract: I’ll show that there exists a fundamental upper limit on the electron-phonon coupling strength in metals. This, in turn, implies an upper bound on the superconducting Tc. I’ll compare these bounds with new and old experimental data and ague that our theory explains several previously poorly understood experiments, such as the observation of metastable high-temperature superconductivity in FeSe.
