High-temperature superconductivity has been found in Fe-, Ni-, and Cu-based compounds but has remained elusive in Co-based materials. The recent discovery of superconductivity in pressurized bilayer nickelate La$_3$Ni$_2$O$_7$ has renewed…

Technetium, element 43, is the only radioactive transition metal. It occurs naturally on earth in only trace amounts. Experimental investigation of its possible compounds is thus inherently difficult and limited. Half of the…

Three new phases of ternary transitional metal carbides, namely MAX phases, Nb4SiC3, Nb4GeC3 and Nb4GaC3 were proposed by means of density functional theory, and they were all predicted to be mechanically stable. It was figured out that the…

Ternary chalcogenides have been of recent investigation for applications in photovoltaic and thermoelectric devices. We study the structural, electronic, optical, and thermoelectric properties of nine ternary chalcogenides, NaAX$_{2}$,…

The electronic structures of element cerium under high pressure remain unclear all the time. We tried to calculate the electronic structures of $\alpha'$, $\alpha"$, and $\epsilon$-Ce which only exist in the presence of pressure, by using…

Hydrogen-rich superhydrides are believed to be very promising high-T$_c$ superconductors, with experimentally observed critical temperatures near room temperature, as shown in recently discovered lanthanide superhydrides at very high…

We present an ensemble machine-learning approach for composition-based, structure-agnostic screening of candidate superconductors among ternary hydrides under high pressure. Hydrogen-rich hydrides are known to exhibit high superconducting…

We report the properties of two new isostructural compounds, U3Bi4Ni3 and U3Bi4Rh3. The first of these compounds is non-metallic, and the second is a nearly ferromagnetic metal, both as anticipated from their electron count relative to…

A systematic electronic structure analysis was conducted for M(L)$_n$ molecular electrides and their corresponding alkalide units M(L)$_n$M' (M/M' = Na, K and L = Tren, Azacryptand, TriPip222 and $n$ = 1, 2). All complexes belong to the…

Correlated electron systems with topological flat bands show great promise in exploring exotic quantum phenomena. However, such crystalline materials remain rare. Here we report the discovery of a novel material, Cs$_3$V$_9$Te$_{13}$, which…

In this letter, we propose ternary nickel hydrides MNiH2 (M = Li, Na) as new materials that mimic cuprate physics but have important differences and interesting properties. Ni-H bands are wider than in oxides due to shorter bond lengths and…

We exhaustively search quaternary metal hydrides based on the (13-2-1) and (13-3-1) structures that are the two of the putative densest ternary sphere packings in cubic systems [R. Koshoji \textit{et al.}, Phys. Rev. E \textbf{104}, 024101…

Density functional theory calculations have been used to identify stable layered Li-$M$-B crystal structure phases derived from a recently proposed binary metal-sandwich (MS) lithium monoboride superconductor. We show that the MS lithium…

Although Xe is known to form stable compounds with strong electronegative elements, evidence on the formation of stable compounds with electropositive elements, such as Fe and Ni, was missing until very recently. In addition to the…

The link between crystal and electronic structure is crucial for understanding structure-property relations in solid-state chemistry. In particular, it has been instrumental in understanding topological materials, where electrons behave…

Ternary hydrides are considered as the ideal candidates with high critical temperature (Tc) stabilized at submegabar pressure, evidenced by the recent discoveries in LaBeH8 (110 K at 80 GPa) and LaB2H8 (106 K at 90 GPa). Here, we…

How to stabilize nitrogen-rich high-energy-density molecules under conventional conditions is particularly important for the energy storage and conversion of such systems and has attracted extensive attention. In this work, our theoretical…

A comparison of the structural, optical and electronic properties of the recently discovered transparent conducting oxide (TCO), nanoporous Ca12Al14O33, with those of the conventional TCO's (such as Sc-doped CdO) indicates that this…

We report a high-throughput ab-initio study of the thermodynamic and superconducting proper- ties of the recently synthesized XB$_3$C$_3$ clathrates. These compounds, in which boron and carbon form a sponge-like network of interconnected…

Under pressure, metals exhibit increasingly shorter interatomic distances. Intuitively, this response is expected to be accompanied by an increase in the widths of the valence and conduction bands and hence a more pronounced…
