High-$T\rm_{c}$ superconductivity of clathrate Y$_{3}$EuH$_{24}$
Abstract
Recent progress on theoretical predictions of ternary superhydrides and their subsequent experimental confirmations have introduced us with a new generation of superconductors, having the potential to realize the synthesis of the most anticipated room temperature superconductors. Motivated by the recent high pressure experiment on YH and EuH, we have theoretically examined the stability as well as superconductivity by mixing the two compounds. Here we identified four phases capable of maintaining thermodynamic stability in the pressure range of 150-300 GPa, namely -YEuH, -YEuH, -YEuH,-YEuH. Among them, only -YEuH can maintain dynamically stability in the searched pressure range. The Allen-Dynes modified McMillan formula was used to further check the superconductivity of this phase, and the results reveal that the predicted superconducting transition temperature of YEuH is approaching 220 K at 200 GPa. -YEuH has a nearly identical logarithmic average phonon frequency to YH, but its electron-phonon coupling (EPC) constant is somewhat smaller than YH's 2.56, resulting in a lower ultimate value.

The system involves europium, where ignoring f-electrons and inherent magnetism led to an overly high predicted Tc in superconductivity calculations. This discrepancy could diverge significantly from actual results. Due to increased computational demands and concerns about europium pseudopotentials, We retract the previously submitted preprint to prevent misguidance
