Recently, C. M. P\'epin \textit{et al.} [Science \textbf{357}, 382 (2017)] reported the formation of several new iron polyhydrides FeH$_x$ at pressures in the megabar range, and spotted FeH$_5$, which forms above 130 GPa, as a potential…
The era of near-room-temperature superconductivity started after experimental discovery by Drozdov et al (2015 Nature 525 73) who found that compressed H3S exhibits superconducting transition at Tc = 203 K. To date, the record…
We calculated the superconductivity properties of alkali metals under high pressure using the results of band theory and the rigid-muffin-tin theory of Gaspari and Gyorffy. Our results suggest that at high pressures Lithium, Potassium,…
From the outset of superconductivity research it was assumed that no electrostatic fields could exist inside superconductors, and this assumption was incorporated into conventional London electrodynamics. Yet the London brothers themselves…

Although hydrogen is the simplest of atoms, it does not form the simplest of solids or liquids. Quantum effects in these phases are considerable (a consequence of the light proton mass) and they have a demonstrable and often puzzling…
The paper considers the possibility of superconductivity setting in when the distance a_B between molecules (atoms) is such that a_F < a_B < a_W, where a_F and a_W are the equilibrium separations in Fermi metals and van der Waals…
