The behavior in magnetic fields of a highly correlated electron liquid approaching the fermion condensation quantum phase transition from the disordered phase is considered. We show that at sufficiently high temperatures $T\geq T^*(x)$ the…
Hydrogen exhibits quantum phenomena, such as tunneling in materials. According to theory, the quantum properties of hydrogen change significantly in superconductors due to the emergence of an energy gap on the Fermi surface, which reduces…
The polymeric phase of nitrogen connected by the lower (than three) order N-N bonds has been long sought after for the potential application as high energy density materials. Here we report a hitherto unknown polymeric N$_2$H phase…
Supercooled water exhibits remarkably slow dynamics similar to the behavior observed for various glass-forming liquids. The local order of tetrahedral structures due to hydrogen-bonds (H-bonds) increases with decreasing temperature. Thus,…
Artificial neural network potentials (NNPs) have emerged as effective tools for understanding atomic interactions at the atomic scale in various phenomena. Recently, we developed highly transferable NNPs for {\alpha}-iron and…
Intermetallic compounds are key materials for energy transition as they form reversible hydrides that can be used for solid state hydrogen storage or as anodes in batteries. ABy compounds (A = Rare Earth (RE); B = transition metal; 2 < y <…
Ternary hydrides have emerged as the primary focus of the new wave of research into superconducting hydrides. In this work, Mg-Ti-H ternary hydrides are explored under high pressures up to 300 GPa using the prediction method of the particle…
The search for sustainable, high-performance cathodes has driven a growing interest in sodium superionic conductor (NASICON)-type phosphates for sodium-ion batteries (SIBs). To identify promising NASICONs containing earth-abundant…
Superconductivity of a micron-sized hydride sample measured between metal probes under extreme pressure could be considered as a macroscopic quantum tunnelling phenomenon through metal-hydride-metal. The energy barrier height of hydride is…
Titanium alloys are widely used in aerospace, biomedical, and energy applications owing to their high specific strength, corrosion resistance, and biocompatibility. Among them, $\alpha$-titanium alloys with a hexagonal close-packed (hcp)…
