The preceding Comment [1], previously posted as arXiv:2312.04495 [2], on our paper J. Supercond. Nov. Mag. 35, 3141 (2022) [3] provides a welcome opportunity to clarify what we understand to be pervading misconceptions by Eremets, Minkov…
Over the past six years, superconductivity at high temperatures has been reported in a variety of hydrogen-rich compounds under high pressure. That high-temperature superconductivity should exist in these materials is expected according to…
The Meissner effect, magnetic field expulsion, is a hallmark of superconductivity. Associated with it, superconductors exclude applied magnetic fields. Recently Minkov et al. presented experimental results reportedly showing "definitive…
It is generally believed that magnetization measurements on sulfur hydride under high pressure performed in 2015 [1] provided "final convincing evidence of superconductivity" [2] in that material, in agreement with theoretical predictions…
In their paper arXiv:2405.08189, Supercond. Sci. Technol. 37 (2024) 065010 [1], Bud'ko et al. present experimental results for trapped magnetic flux for a tiny sample of a type II superconductor. The paper aims to provide evidence in…
Since the discovery of superconductivity at 200 K in H3S [1] similar or higher transition temperatures, Tcs, have been reported for various hydrogen-rich compounds under ultra-high pressures [2]. Superconductivity was experimentally proved…
In Nat Commun 13, 3194 (2022) [1], Minkov et al. reported magnetization measurements on hydrides under pressure that claimed to find a diamagnetic signal below a critical temperature demonstrating the existence of superconductivity. Here we…
Superconducting transitions in the absence of magnetic field should be non-hysteretic. Here we address the fact that the drops in electrical resistance that have been interpreted as evidence of superconductivity in several hydrides under…
The long-sought goal of room-temperature superconductivity has reportedly recently been realized in a carbonaceous sulfur hydride compound under high pressure, as reported by Snider et al. [1]. The evidence presented in that paper is…
It was recently pointed out that so-called "superhydrides", hydrogen-rich materials that appear to become superconducting at high temperatures and pressures, exhibit physical properties that are different from both conventional and…
The measurement of superconductivity at above 200K in compressed samples of hydrogen sulfide and lanthanum hydride at 250K is reinvigorating the search for conventional high temperature superconductors. At the same time it exposes a…
Hirsch and Marsiglio, in their recent publication (J. Supercond. Nov. Mag. 35, 3141-3145 (2022)), assert that experimental data on the trapping of magnetic flux by hydrogen-rich compounds clearly demonstrate the absence of superconductivity…
In recent years, the resistance signature of the high temperature superconductivity above 250 K in highly compressed hydrides (more than 100 GPa) has garnered significant attention within the condensed matter physics community. This has…
It is generally believed that sulfur hydride under high pressure is a high temperature superconductor. In National Science Review 6, 713 (2019) Huang and coworkers reported detection of superconductivity in sulfur hydride through a highly…
It has recently been reported that hydrogen-rich materials under high pressure trap magnetic flux, a tell-tale signature of superconductivity [arXiv:2206.14108v1]. Here we point out that under the protocol used in these experiments the…
Two single crystalline samples with the same nominal composition of Rb0.8Fe2Se2 prepared via slightly different precursor routes under the same thermal processing conditions were investigated at ambient and high pressures. One sample was…
The field of hydride superconductivity has recently been mired in a controversy that might divert attention from the question of central importance: do hydrides support genuine superconductivity or not? We examine some key papers from the…
The recent discovery of superconductivity at 190~K in highly compressed H$_{2}$S is spectacular not only because it sets a record high critical temperature, but because it does so in a material that appears to be, and we argue here that it…
Superconductivity is an important area of modern research which has benefited enormously from experiments under high pressure conditions. The focus of this paper will be on three classes of high-temperature superconductors: (1) the new…
The oxide perovskites are a large family of materials with many important physical properties. Of particular interest has been the fact that this structure type provides an excellent structural framework for the existence of…
