Signs of Possible High-Temperature Superconductivity in Graphite Intercalated with Lithium-Based Alloys
Vadim Ksenofontov, Vasily S. Minkov, Alexander P. Drozdov +2
We report experimental results indicating possible high-temperature superconductivity in graphite intercalation compounds synthesized with lithium-based alloys. Temperature-depende…
Long-Term Stability of Superconducting Metal Superhydrides
Vasily S. Minkov, Mikhail A. Kuzovnikov, Panpan Kong +11
Zhou et al., in their recent publication (Nat. Commun. 16, 1135, 2025), reported the synthesis of lanthanum superhydride, LaHx (x = 10.2-11.1), by laser heating LaH3 with NH3BH3 at…
Superconductivity above 180 K in Ca-Mg Ternary Superhydrides at Megabar Pressures
Weizhao Cai, Vasily S. Minkov, Ying Sun +8
The discovery of high-temperature superconductivity above 240 K in binary La-H and Y-H systems inspired further predictions of even higher transition temperatures in compounds such…
High-temperature superconductivity on the verge of a structural instability in lanthanum superhydride
Dan Sun, Vasily S. Minkov, Shirin Mozaffari +5
A possibility of high, room-temperature superconductivity was predicted for metallic hydrogen in the 1960s. However, metallization and superconductivity of hydrogen are yet to be u…
Superconductivity up to 243 K in yttrium hydrides under high pressure
P. P. Kong, V. S. Minkov, M. A. Kuzovnikov +9
The discovery of high-temperature conventional superconductivity in H3S with a critical temperature of Tc=203 K was followed by the recent record of Tc ~250 K in the face-centered…
Superconducting Phase-Diagram of H3S under High Magnetic Fields
Shirin Mozaffari, Dan Sun, Vasily S. Minkov +7
We report the temperature dependence of the upper critical fields of the high temperature superconductor HS under applied pressures of 155 and 160 GPa through th…
Superconductivity at 250 K in lanthanum hydride under high pressures
A. P. Drozdov, P. P. Kong, V. S. Minkov +11
The discovery of superconductivity at 203 K in H3S brought attention back to conventional superconductors whose properties can be described by the Bardeen-Cooper-Schrieffer (BCS) a…
Superconductivity at 215 K in lanthanum hydride at high pressures
A. P. Drozdov, V. S. Minkov, S. P. Besedin +4
We synthesized lanthanum hydride (LaHx) by laser heating of lanthanum in hydrogen atmosphere at pressure P = 170 GPa. The sample shows a superconducting step at 209 K and 170 GPa a…
