" High superconductivity in hydrides at high pressures "

ORAL

Abstract

The mechanisms for the strong electron-phonon coupling predicted for hydrogen-rich compounds with high superconducting critical temperature were examined within the Bardeen-Schrieffer-Cooper and Midgal-Eliashberg theory. In this study, we have explored some candidate structures for hydrides at high pressures. Electron-phonon coupling calculations predict the existence of new superconducting phases, some even exhibiting superconductivity in the range of room temperature. Further analysis shows that hydrogen-hydrogen vibrations played acritical role in enhancing electron-phonon coupling parameters. Moreover, the calculated stabilities indicate the materials are likely to be synthesized at pressures that are currently accessible in the laboratory. The results open the prospect for the design, synthesis, and recovery of new high-temperature superconductors with potential practical applications.
