Superconductivity of lithium-doped hydrogen under high pressure.
The high-pressure lattice dynamics and superconductivity of newly proposed lithium hydrides (LiH2, LiH6 and LiH8) have been extensively studied using density functional theory. The application of the Allen-Dynes modified McMillan equation and electron-phonon coupling calculations show that LiH6 and LiH8 are superconductors with critical temperatures (T(c)) of 38 K at 150 GPa for LiH6 and 31 K a...

Anumber of novel phases with the chemical formulas MHn, n > 1 and M = Li, Na, K, Rb, Cs; MHn, n > 2 and M= Mg, Ca, Sr, Ba; HnI with n > 1 and PH, PH2, PH3 have been predicted to be stable at pressures achievable in diamond anvil cells. The hydrogenic la...
متن کاملSuperconductivity of novel tin hydrides (SnnHm) under pressure
With the motivation of discovering high-temperature superconductors, evolutionary algorithm USPEX is employed to search for all stable compounds in the Sn-H system. In addition to the traditional SnH4, new hydrides SnH8, SnH12 and SnH14 are found to be thermodynamically stable at high pressure. Dynamical stability and superconductivity of tin hydrides are systematically investigated. I4m2-SnH8,...
متن کاملPrediction of thermodynamic stability and electronic structure of novel ternary lanthanide hydrides{
We theoretically examine four hypothetical ternary lanthanide hydrides, CsLnIIH3 and Cs2Ln IIH4, where Ln = Yb, Tm. We optimize their crystal unit cells in the BaTiO3 and K2NiF4 structures, respectively, and compute their electronic band structures. Our calculations indicate that the novel hydrides should be unstable with respect to decomposition into binaries (CsH and LnIIH2); ternaries would ...
متن کاملHigh-pressure synthesis and superconductivity of LaGe5 containing a tunnel germanium network
Superconducting LaGe5 was synthesized by the reaction of La and Ge mixtures under a pressure of 5 GPa at 1200 °C. It crystallized in the orthorhombic space group Immm ~No. 71! with a54.0290(6), b 56.307(1), and c59.978(2) Å, V5253.54(6) Å, and Z52. Single-crystal studies revealed that LaGe5 had a germanium network with tunnels running along the a axis, where La atoms are located. There are two ...
