Feasible route to high-temperature ambient-pressure hydride superconductivity
Kapildeb Dolui, Lewis J. Conway, Christoph Heil +3
A key challenge in materials discovery is to find high-temperature superconductors. Hydrogen and hydride materials have long been considered promising materials displaying conventi…
On the dynamical stability of copper-doped lead apatite
Sun-Woo Kim, Kang Wang, Siyu Chen +5
The recent claim of room temperature superconductivity in a copper-doped lead apatite compound, called LK-99, has sparked remarkable interest and controversy. Subsequent experiment…
Ultra-fast yttrium hydride chemistry at high pressures via non-equilibrium states induced by x-ray free electron laser
Emily Siska, G. Alexander Smith, Sergio Villa-Cortes +24
Controlling the formation and stoichiometric content of desired phases of materials has become a central interest for the study of a variety of fields, notably high temperature sup…
Developments and Further Applications of Ephemeral Data Derived Potentials
Pascal T. Salzbrenner, Se Hun Joo, Lewis J. Conway +5
Machine-learned interatomic potentials are fast becoming an indispensable tool in computational materials science. One approach is the ephemeral data-derived potential (EDDP), whic…
Microscopic theory of colour in lutetium hydride
Sun-Woo Kim, Lewis J. Conway, Chris J. Pickard +2
Nitrogen-doped lutetium hydride has recently been proposed as a near-ambient-conditions superconductor. Interestingly, the sample transforms from blue to pink to red as a function…
Search for ambient superconductivity in the Lu-N-H system
Pedro P. Ferreira, Lewis J. Conway, Alessio Cucciari +7
Motivated by the recent report of room-temperature superconductivity at near-ambient pressure in N-doped lutetium hydride by Dasenbrock et al. [Nature 615, 244 (2023)], we performe…
Thermodynamically stable room-temperature superconductors in Li-Na hydrides under high pressures
Decheng An, Defang Duan, Zihan Zhang +3
Room-temperature superconductivity has been a long-standing goal for scientific progress and human development. Thermodynamic stability is a prerequisite for material synthesis and…
Excitonic Insulator to Superconductor Phase Transition in Ultra-Compressed Helium
Cong Liu, Ion Errea, Chris Pickard +8
Helium, the second most abundant element in the universe, exhibits an extremely large electronic band gap of about eV at low pressures ( GPa). While the metallization…
