Recent results on search (theoretical prediction, high-pressure synthesis, etc.) for novel superhard and ultrahard materials are briefly reviewed.
We suggest that the high temperature superconductivity in cuprate compounds may emerge due to interaction between copper-oxygen layers mediated by in-plane plasmons. The strength of the interaction is determined by the c-axis geometry and…
