Missing theoretical evidence for conventional room temperature superconductivity in low enthalpy structures of carbonaceous sulfur hydrides
Moritz Gubler, José A. Flores-Livas, Anton Kozhevnikov +1
To elucidate the geometric structure of the putative room temperature superconductor, carbonaceous sulfur hydride, at high pressure, we present the results of an extensive computat…
Absence of conventional room temperature superconductivity at high pressure in carbon doped HS
Tianchun Wang, Motoaki Hirayama, Takuya Nomoto +3
In this work, we show that the same theoretical tools that successfully explain other hydrides systems under pressure seem to be at odds with the recently claimed conventional room…
Reaching room temperature superconductivity by optimizing doping in LaH?
José A. Flores-Livas, Tianchun Wang, Takuya Nomoto +4
Intuitively, doping represents one of the most promising avenues for optimization of best prospect superconductors (SC) such as conventional high-pressure SCs with record critical…
Quantum Crystal Structure in the 250 K Superconducting Lanthanum Hydride
Ion Errea, Francesco Belli, Lorenzo Monacelli +8
The discovery of superconductivity at 200 K in the hydrogen sulfide system at large pressures [1] was a clear demonstration that hydrogen-rich materials can be high-temperature sup…
A Perspective on Conventional High-Temperature Superconductors at High Pressure: Methods and Materials
José A. Flores-Livas, Lilia Boeri, Antonio Sanna +3
Two hydrogen-rich materials, HS and LaH, synthesized at megabar pressures, have revolutionized the field of condensed matter physics providing the first glimpse to the s…
Elemental Phosphorus: structural and superconducting phase diagram under pressure
José A. Flores-Livas, Antonio Sanna, Alexander P. Drozdov +4
Pressure-induced superconductivity and structural phase transitions in phosphorous (P) are studied by resistivity measurements under pressures up to 170 GPa and fully c…
Emergence of superconductivity in doped HO ice at high pressure
José A. Flores-Livas, Antonio Sanna, Arkadiy Davydov +2
We investigate the possibility of achieving high-temperature superconductivity in hydrides under pressure by inducing metallization of otherwise insulating phases through doping, a…
Superconductivity in metastable phases of phosphorus-hydride compounds under high pressure
José A. Flores-Livas, Maximilian Amsler, Christoph Heil +6
Hydrogen-rich compounds have been extensively studied both theoretically and experimentally in the quest for novel high-temperature superconductors. Reports on sulfur-hydride attai…
High temperature superconductivity in sulfur and selenium hydrides at high pressure
José A. Flores-Livas, Antonio Sanna, E. K. U. Gross
Due to its low atomic mass hydrogen is the most promising element to search for high-temperature phononic superconductors. However, metallic phases of hydrogen are only expected at…
Superconductivity in intercalated group-IV honeycomb structures
José A. Flores-Livas, Antonio Sanna
We present a theoretical investigation on electron-phonon superconductivity of honeycomb MX layered structures. Where X is one element of the group-IV (C, Si or Ge) and M an al…
High pressure structures of disilane and their superconducting properties
Maximilian Amsler, José A. Flores-Livas, Thomas J. Lenosky +4
A systematic ab initio search for low enthalpy phases of disilane (Si_2H_6) at high pressures was performed based on the minima hopping method. We found a novel metallic phase of d…
