A recent paper [Lee {\em et al.}, J. Korean Cryt. Growth Cryst. Techn. {\bf 33}, 61 (2023)] provides some experimental indications that Pb$_{10-x}$Cu$_x$(PO$_4$)$_6$O with $x\approx 1$, coined LK-99, might be a room-temperature…
In a series of recent reports, doped lead apatite (LK-99) has been proposed as a candidate ambient temperature and pressure superconductor. However, from both an experimental and theoretical perspective, these claims are largely…
LK-99, with chemical formula Pb$_{10-x}$Cu$_x$(PO4)$_6$O, was recently reported to be a room-temperature superconductor. While this claim has met with little support in a flurry of ensuing work, a variety of calculations (mostly based on…
Room-temperature superconductivity represents a significant scientific milestone, with the initial report of LK-99, a copper-substituted lead apatite $\mathrm{Pb}_{10-x}\mathrm{Cu}_{x}(\mathrm{PO}_{4})_{6}\mathrm{O}$, offering a potential…
Recently, above-room temperature superconductivity was reported in the Cu doped lead apatite Pb$_{10-x}$Cu$_x$(PO4)$_6$O, dubbed LK-99. By relaxing the structure with Cu substitution, we derive a four-band low-energy model with two 3/4…
Two recent preprints in the physics archive (arXiv) have called attention as they claim experimental evidence that a Cu-substituted apatite material (dubbed LK-99) exhibits superconductivity at room temperature and pressure. If this proves…
Based on DFT calculations, we present the basic electronic structure of CuPb9(PO4)6O (Cu-doped lead apatite, LK-99), in two scenarios: (1) where the structure is constrained to the P3 symmetry and (2) where no symmetry is imposed. At the…
