Superconductors without inversion symmetry in their crystal structure are known to exhibit unconventional properties. Recently, based on the measured temperature dependence of the magnetic field penetration depth, superconductivity in noncentrosymmetric ThCoC2 was proposed to be a nodal d wave and mediated by the spin fluctuations. Moreover, a non-BCS behavior of the temperature dependence of the electronic specific heat and the magnetic upper critical field were reported. In this work, the electronic structure, phonons, and electron-phonon coupling are studied in ThCoC2 on the basis of ab initio computations. The effect of the spin-orbit coupling on the electronic structure and electron-phonon interaction is analyzed, and a large splitting of the electronic band structure is found. The calculated electron-phonon coupling constant λ=0.59 remains in decent agreement with the experimental estimates, suggesting that the electron-phonon interaction is strong enough to explain superconductivity with Tc≃2.5 K. Nevertheless, we show that the conventional isotropic Eliashberg formalism is unable to describe the thermodynamic properties of the superconducting state, as calculated temperature dependence of the electronic specific heat and magnetic penetration depth deviate from experiments, which is likely driven by the strong spin-orbit coupling and inversion symmetry breaking. In addition, to shed more light on the pairing mechanism, we propose to measure the carbon isotope effect, as our calculations based on the electron-phonon coupling predict the observation of the isotope effect with an exponent α≃0.15.

Bouncing models of cosmology, as they arise, e.g., in loop quantum cosmology, can be followed by an inflationary phase and generate close-to-scale-invariant fluctuation spectra as observed in the cosmic microwave background (CMB). However, they are typically not Gaussian and also generate a bispectrum. These models can help to mitigate the large-scale anomalies of the CMB by considering substantial non-Gaussianities on very large scales, which decay exponentially on subhorizon scales. It was therefore thought that this non-Gaussianity would not be visible in observations, which can only probe subhorizon scales. We show that bouncing models with parameters such that they can significantly mitigate the large-scale anomalies of the CMB are excluded by the Planck data with high significance of, depending on the specific model, 5.4, 6.4, or 14 standard deviations.
