We present the results of theoretical investigation on the electronic structure, bonding nature and ground state properties of Th$_2$Al and Th$_2$AlH$_4$ using generalized-gradient-corrected first-principles full-potential…
Knowledge of the behavior of hydrogen in metal hydrides is the key for understanding their electronic properties. So far, no experimental methods exist to access these properties beyond 100 GPa, where high-Tc superconductivity emerges.…
Using the data on the superconducting critical temperature ($T_{C}$) for a number of metal hydrides, we found a rule that makes it possible to predict the maximum $T_{C}$ based only on the information about the electronic structure of metal…
We evaluate the interaction potential between a hydrogen and an antihydrogen using the second-order perturbation theory within the framework of the four-body system in a separable two-body basis. We find that the H-Hbar interaction…
Recently, the experimental discovery of high-$T_c$ superconductivity in compressed hydrides H$_3$S and LaH$_{10}$ at megabar pressures has triggered searches for various superconducting superhydrides. It was experimentally observed that…
Recently it has been discovered that lanthanum, yttrium, and other metal hydride films show dramatic changes in the optical properties at the metal-insulator transition. Such changes on a high energy scale suggest the electronic structure…
We present first-principles calculations of the dI/dV characteristics of an H2 molecule sandwiched between Au and Pt electrodes in the presence of electron-phonon interactions. The conductance is found to decrease by a few percentage at…
Several examples of metallic electron doped polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) molecular crystals have recently been experimentally proposed. Some of them have superconducting components, but most other details are still unknown…
The search for room temperature superconductivity has accelerated dramatically in the last few years driven largely by theoretical predictions that first indicated alloying dense hydrogen with other elements could produce conventional…
Compressed hydrides are promising candidates for high-temperature superconductivity, yet achieving simultaneous structural stability and high-Tc at low pressures remains challenging. Here, we introduce a new mechanism for accomplishing this…
Hydrogen-rich superhydrides are promising high-Tc superconductors, with superconductivity experimentally observed near room temperature, as shown in recently discovered lanthanide superhydrides at very high pressures, e.g. LaH10 at 170 GPa…
Nitride hydrides are a largely unexplored class of materials with promising applications in solid-state hydrogen fuel cells. Here, we use first-principles calculations to characterize defects and ionic mobility in Sr$_2$LiH$_2$N (SLHN), a…
Recently, several research groups announced reaching the point of metallization of hydrogen above 400 GPa. Following the mainstream of extensive investigations of compressed polyhydrides, in this work we demonstrate that small (4 atom %)…
The current search for room-temperature superconductivity is inspired by the unique properties of the electron-phonon interaction in metal superhydrides. Encouraged by the recently found highest-$T_C$ superconductor fcc-$LaH_{10}$, here we…
A possibility of high, room-temperature superconductivity was predicted for metallic hydrogen in the 1960s. However, metallization and superconductivity of hydrogen are yet to be unambiguously demonstrated in the laboratory and may require…
The resistive transition width of a recently discovered room temperature near-ambient-pressure superconductor [1] changes by more than three orders of magnitude between different samples, with the transition temperature nearly unchanged.…
The pH response of liquid metal (eutectic GaInSn) in the form of a pendant drop is investigated and the sensitivity of 92.96 mV in the pH range from 4 to 10 is obtained. Unlike the fundamental limit of pH sensitivity of 59.1 mV in an…
The 2014-2015 prediction, discovery, and confirmation of record high temperature superconductivity above 200K in H$_3$S, followed by the 2018 extension to superconductivity in the 250-280K range in lanthanum hydride, marks a new era in the…
Through density functional theory and molecular dynamics calculations, we have analysed various metal polyhydrides to understand whether hydrogen is present in its molecular or atomic form - tetrahydrides of Ba,Sr,Ra, Cs and La;…
HII region heavy-element abundances throughout the Galactic disk provide important constraints to theories of the formation and evolution of the Milky Way. In LTE, radio recombination line (RRL) and free-free continuum emission are accurate…
