Why Mercury is a superconductor
Cesare Tresca, Gianni Profeta, Giovanni Marini +4
Despite being the oldest known superconductor, solid mercury is mysteriously absent from all current computational databases of superconductors. In this work, we present a critical…
High-T Superconductivity in doped boron-carbon clathrates
Simone Di Cataldo, Shadi Qulaghasi, Giovanni B. Bachelet +1
We report a high-throughput ab-initio study of the thermodynamic and superconducting proper- ties of the recently synthesized XBC clathrates. These compounds, in which boro…
The road to room-temperature conventional superconductivity
Lilia Boeri, Giovanni B. Bachelet
It is a honor to write a contribution on this memorial for Sandro Massidda. For both of us, at different stages of our life, Sandro was first and foremost a friend. We both admired…
Comment on "Simplified LCAO Method for the Periodic Potential Problem"
Shadi Qulaghasi, Giovanni B. Bachelet
In this comment we report on two misprints of a classical and still widely used tight-binding table contained in a seminal, 65-years-old paper by Slater and Koster, and suggest the…
Superconductivity in sodalite-like yttrium hydride clathrates
Christoph Heil, Simone di Cataldo, Giovanni B. Bachelet +7
We report ab-initio calculations of the superconducting properties of two high-Tc sodalite-like clathrate yttrium hydrides, YH6 and YH10, within the fully anisotropic ME theory, in…
Absence of superconductivity in iron polyhydrides at high pressures
Christoph Heil, Giovanni B. Bachelet, Lilia Boeri
Recently, C. M. Pépin \textit{et al.} [Science \textbf{357}, 382 (2017)] reported the formation of several new iron polyhydrides FeH at pressures in the megabar range, and spot…
