Sulfur was the first nonmetal element which was transformed to a superconductor by applying megabar pressure. Recent pioneering experimental developments in measuring the superconducting energy gap $\Delta(T)$ in compressed sulfur using…
Discovery of the incommensurate structure in the element Ba under pressure 15 years ago was followed by findings of a series of similar structures in other compressed elements. Incommensurately modulated structures of the host-guest type…
This article reports the experimentally clarified crystal structure of a recently discovered sulfur hydride in high temperature superconducting phase which has the highest critical temperature Tc over 200 K which has been ever reported. For…
Sulfur has recently been found to be a superconductor at high pressure. At ~93 GPa Tc is 10.1 K, and the sulfur is in a base-centered orthorhombic (b.c.o) structure. At ~160 GPa Tc is 17 K and sulfur is in a rhobohedral (b-Po) structure.…

Due to its low atomic mass hydrogen is the most promising element to search for high-temperature phononic superconductors. However, metallic phases of hydrogen are only expected at extreme pressures (400 GPa or higher). The measurement of a…
Between 19 and 54 GPa, potassium has a complex composite incommensurate host-guest structure which undergoes two intraphase transitions over this pressure range. The temperature dependence of these host-guest phases is further complicated…
Sulfur intercalated graphite composites with diamagnetic transitions at 6.7 K and 37 K are prepared. The magnetization hysteresis loops (MHL), Xray diffraction patterns, and resistance were measured. From the MHL, a slight superconducting…
The trigonal ${\alpha}$-HgS has a 3-fold helical chain structure, and is in form of a noncentrosymmetric $P3_121$ phase, known as the cinnabar phase. However, under pressure, the helical chains gradually approach and connect with each…
Experimental discovery of near-room-temperature superconductivity in highly compressed hydrogen sulfate started a new era in superconductivity. To date, researchers have made the discovery of dozens of superconducting hydride phases with…
To elucidate the geometric structure of the putative room temperature superconductor, carbonaceous sulfur hydride, at high pressure, we present the results of an extensive computational structure search of bulk C-S-H at 250 gigapascals.…
Recent discovery of high-temperature superconductivity (Tc = 190 K) in sulfur hydrides at megabar pressures breaks the traditional belief on the Tc limit of 40 K for conventional superconductors, and open up the doors in searching new…
The phenomenon of high temperature superconductivity, approaching room temperature, has been realized in a number of hydrogen-dominant alloy systems under high pressure conditions1-12. A significant discovery in reaching room temperature…
We have shown that adiabatic electronic structure of superconducting phase of sulphur hydride at 200 GPa is unstable toward vibration motion of H-atoms. Theoretical study indicates that in coupling to H-vibrations, system undergoes…
The maximum critical temperature for superconductivity in pressurized hydrides appears at the top of superconducting domes in Tc versus pressure curves at a particular pressure, which is not predicted by standard superconductivity theories.…
