Compressed hydrogen-rich compounds have received extensive attention as appealing contenders for superconductors, and further challenges are maintaining the stability and superconductivity of hydrides at lower pressures. In this work, we…
Palladium hydrides exhibit the largest isotope-effect anomaly in superconductivity: replacing hydrogen with heavier isotopes increases the superconducting critical temperature. Although this behavior is commonly attributed to strong…
Metallic hydrogen and hydride materials stand as promising avenues to achieve room-temperature superconductivity. Characterized by their high phonon frequencies and moderate coupling strengths, several high-pressure hydrides were…
Samarium hydrides, belonging to the broad class of lanthanide polyhydrides, have yet to be experimentally tested at high pressure. In this study, we use random structure searches to explore multiple possible stoichiometries and propose…
Interest in inorganic ternary nitride materials has grown rapidly over the past few decades, as their diversity of chemistries and structures make them appealing for a variety of applications. Due to synthetic challenges posed by the…
Hydrogen-rich materials are the most promising candidates for high-temperature conventional superconductors under ambient pressure. Multinary hydrides have abundant structural configurations and are more promising to find high-temperature…
Magnesium dihydride ($\mgh$) stores 7.7 weight % hydrogen, but it suffers from a high thermodynamic stability and slow (de)hydrogenation kinetics. Alloying Mg with lightweight transition metals (TM = Sc, Ti, V, Cr) aims at improving the…

A system of equations is developed for a fluid with non-abelian local gauge symmetry. Anisotropy is introduced by requiring that the symmetry breaking preserves a restricted local gauge symmetry about a given direction in the gauge…

We report the ac magnetic susceptibility, electrical resistance, and X-ray diffraction measurements of platinum hydride (PtHx) in diamond anvil cells, which reveal its superconducting transition. At 32 GPa, when PtHx is in a P63/mmc…
We investigate the influence of hydrogen on the electronic structure of a binary transition metallic glass of V$_{80}$Zr$_{20}$. We examine the hybridization between the hydrogen and metal atoms with the aid of hard x-ray photoelectron…
We developed new modified embedded-atom method (MEAM) interatomic potentials for the Mg-Al alloy system using a first-principles method based on density functional theory (DFT). The materials parameters, such as the cohesive energy,…
We have calculated the absorption characteristics of different hybrid systems consisting of Ag, Ag2 or Ag3 atomic clusters and poly(methacrylic acid) (PMAA) using the time-dependent density-functional theory. The polymer is found to have an…
We use molecular dynamics with an embedded atom potential to study the behavior of palladium nanoclusters near the melting point in the microcanonical ensemble. We see transitions from both fcc and decahedral ground state structures to…
The discovery of high-temperature superconductivity above 240 K in binary La-H and Y-H systems inspired further predictions of even higher transition temperatures in compounds such as YH10 and MgH6, which are likely to be dynamically…
The embedded atom method (EAM) potentials are probably the most widely used interatomic potentials for metals and alloys. However, the EAM potentials impose three constraints on elastic constants that are inconsistent with experiments. At a…
In the last decade, there has been great progress in predicting and synthesizing polyhydrides that exhibit superconductivity when squeezed. Dopants allow these compounds to become metals at pressures lower than those required to metallize…

Observation of high-temperature superconductivity in sulfur hydrides at megabar pressures has generated an irresistible wave on searching for new superconductors in other compressed hydrogen-rich compounds. An immediate effort is towards…
