Metallic states in Pb${}_{10}$(PO${}_4$)${}_6$O induced by the Cu/O-insertions and carrier doping

Liang Liu, Xue Ren, Jifan Hu

The reports of room-temperature superconductivity in Cu-doped Pb-apatite draw intense interests and debates. Herein, based on the density functional theory, we show that the Cu-ins…
