Carbon-based materials have attracted great attention due to their exceptional structural diversity and wide-ranging applications. Recently, a new two-dimensional carbon allotrope, named pentagraphene (PG), was proposed. In this study, we…
By means of ab initio metadynamics runs we explored the lower-pressure region of the phase diagram of germanium. A monoclinic germanium phase with four-membered rings, less dense than diamond and compressible into \beta-tin phase (tI4) was…
Graphite and diamond are two well-known allotropes of carbon with distinct physical properties due to different atomic connectivity. Graphite has a layered structure in which the honeycomb carbon sheets can easily glide, while atoms in…
The rich novel materials class of iron based superconductors turned out to exhibit a very complex electronic structure, despite of the simplicity of their crystal structures. For various approaches to study the instability against magnetic…
A century on from its discovery, a complete fundamental understanding of superconductivity is still missing. Considerable research efforts are currently devoted to elucidating mechanisms by which pairs of electrons can bind together through…
We study a new hypothetical form of solid carbon \csc, with a unit cell which is composed of the \cs \ fullerene cluster and an additional single carbon atom arranged in the zincblende structure. Using {\it ab initio} calculations, we show…
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…
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…
Diamond and Silicon Carbide (SiC) are promising wide band-gap semiconductors for power electronics, SiC being more mature especially in term of large wafer size (that has reached 200 mm quite recently). Nitrogen impurities are often used in…
The London penetration depth, $\lambda(T)$, was measured in a single crystal V$_{3}$Si. The superfluid density obtained from this measurement shows a distinct signature of two almost decoupled superconducting gaps. This alone is…
X-ray powder diffraction, electrical resistivity, magnetization, and thermodynamic measurements were conducted to investigate the structure and superconducting properties of TiHfNbTaMo, a novel high-entropy alloy possessing a valence…
Metal borides have been considered as potential high-temperature superconductors since the discovery of record-holding 39 K superconductivity in bulk MgB2. In this work, we identified a superconducting yet thermodynamically stable F43m…
Based on particle swarm optimization (PSO) algorithm and density functional theory (DFT) calculations, we identify a stable triclinic crystal structure of Ta2O5 (named as {\gamma}1-Ta2O5) at atmospheric pressure whose unit cell contains one…
The superconducting transition temperatures of high-Tc compounds based on copper, iron, ruthenium and certain organic molecules are discovered to be dependent on bond lengths, ionic valences, and Coulomb coupling between electronic bands in…
We report for the first time the occurrence of superconductivity in the quaternary silicide carbide YRe2SiC with Tc = 5.9 K. The emergence of superconductivity was confirmed by means of magnetic susceptibility, electrical resistivity, and…
Three single-layer tetragonal silicon carbides (SiC), termed as T1,T2 and T3, are proposed by density functional theory (DFT) computations. Although the three structures have the same topological geometry, they show versatile electronic…
A polycrystalline sample of the high-entropy-alloy-type telluride AgInSnPbBiTe5 was synthesized using high-pressure synthesis. Superconductivity with a transition temperature (Tc) of 2.6 K was observed in AgInSnPbBiTe5. Elemental and…
Superconductivity with transition temperature $T_c=1.7$ K has been reported in bilayer graphene [1,2]. The main factors, which may shed light on the mechanism of the formation of this superconductivity, are the following. Superconductivity…
First principle DFT simulations are employed to study structural and mechanical properties of orthorhombic B12-based metal carbide-borides. The simulations predict the existence of Ca- and Sr- based phases with the structure similar to that…
We investigate the low temperature (T $<$ 2 K) electronic structure of the heavy fermion superconductor CeCoIn5 (T$_c$ = 2.3 K) by angle-resolved photoemission spectroscopy (ARPES). The hybridization between conduction electrons and…
