Recently superconductivity has been discovered at around 200~K in a hydrogen sulfide system and around 260~K in a lanthanum hydride system, both under pressures of about 200 GPa. These record-breaking transition temperatures bring within…
We report resistivity, thermopower and magnetic susceptibility measurements on the Nb$_4$-cluster compounds Ga$_{1.33}$Nb$_4$X$_{8}$ (X = S, Se), derived from vacancy ordered spinels A$_x$T$_4$X$_8$. The cubic selenide phase is insulating…
Recent experiments have unveiled important properties of the ground state of the elusive heavy fermion $\mathrm{URu_{2}Si_{2}}$. While tetragonal symmetry-breaking was reported below the hidden-order (HO) transition at $T_{HO}\approx17.5$…
The intermetallic compound, YRhAl, has been prepared and is found to be isomorphic with RRhAl (R=Pr, Nd, Gd, Ho and Tm) compounds crystallizing in the orthorhombic TiNiSi-type structure (Space group Pnma). Heat capacity and electrical…
We study the electronic and structural properties of the low-temperature ordered phase of hydrogen-bonded molecular conductors, $\kappa$-D$_3$(Cat-EDT-TTF)$_2$ and its selenium-substituted analog $\kappa$-D$_3$(Cat-EDT-ST)$_2$, by means of…
We theoretically give an infinite number of metastable crystal structures for the superconducting sulfur hydride H$_{x}$S under pressure. It has been thought that theoretically predicted structures of H$_{2}$S and H$_{3}$S exhibit low and…
The discovery of superconductivity with a critical temperature exceeding 55 K in the iron-oxypnictides and related compounds has quite suddenly given the community a new set of materials - breaking the tyranny of copper. This new class of…
We present electrical resistance measurements of elemental yttrium on bulk and film samples, and both exhibit superconductivity at very high pressures. We show that the pressure dependence of the superconducting transition temperature above…
The transition metal dichalcogenide PdTe$_2$ has attractive features based on its classification as a type-II Dirac semimetal and the occurrence of type-I superconductivity, providing a platform for discussion of a topological…
Capitani and coworkers [1] reported that infrared optical reflectance measurements provided evidence for a superconducting transition in sulfur hydride [2] under 150 GPa pressure, and that the transition is driven by the electron-phonon…
Noble metals adopt close-packed structures at ambient pressure and rarely undergo structural transformation at high pressures. Platinum (Pt), in particular, is normally considered to be unreactive and is therefore not expected to form…
The synthesis of materials in high-pressure experiments has recently attracted increasing attention, especially since the discovery of record breaking superconducting temperatures in the sulfur-hydrogen and other hydrogen-rich systems.…
Quasi-hydrostatic compression of rhombohedral boron monosulfide (r-BS) has been studied up to 50 GPa at room temperature using diamond-anvil cells and angle-dispersive synchrotron X-ray diffraction. A fit of the experimental P-V data to the…
We report on the discovery, structural analysis, and the physical properties of Nb$_4$SiSb$_2$ -- a hitherto unknown compound crystallizing in the V$_4$SiSb$_2$-type structure with the tetragonal space group $I4/mcm$ and unit cell…
A topological superconductor candidate $\beta$-RhPb$_2$ is predicted by using the first-principles electronic structure calculations. Our calculations show that there is a band inversion around the Fermi level at the Z point of Brillouin…
Recently, a host/guest clathrate SrB3C3 with sp3-bonded boron-carbon framework was synthesized at around 50 GPa. On the basis of electron count, the structure is understood as guest Sr2+ cations intercalated in the (B3C3)3- framework.…
We show from a bond valence sum correlation that very high superconducting $ T_{c} $ values should be found in optimally hole-doped infinite-layer ACuO$ _{2} $ cuprates - up to 160~K for A = Ba. The projected increase in $ T_{c} $ across…
The ground state of $\lambda$-(BEDT-TTF)$_2$GaCl$_4$, which has the same structure as the organic superconductor $\lambda$-(BETS)$_2$GaCl$_4$, was investigated by magnetic susceptibility and $^{13}$C NMR measurements. The temperature…
Recent renewal of the highest transition temperature in a conventional superconductor of the sulfer hydride attracts much attention to exploring simple compounds with the lighter elements, situated in unconventional conditions. We report…
Hydrogen-rich compounds hold promise as high-temperature superconductors under high pressures. Recent theoretical hydride structures on achieving high-pressure superconductivity are composed mainly of H2 fragments. Through a systematic…
