Satterthwaite and Toepke (1970741) predicted high-temperature superconductivity in hydrogen-rich metallic alloys, based on an idea that these compounds should exhibit high Debye frequency of the proton lattice, which boosts the superconducting transition temperature,. The idea has got full confirmation more than four decades later when Drozdov(201573) experimentally discovered near-room-temperature superconductivity in highly-compressed sulphur superhydride, HS. To date, more than a dozen of high-temperature hydrogen-rich superconducting phases in Ba-H, Pr-H, P-H, Pt-H, Ce-H, Th-H, S-H, Y-H, La-H, and (La, Y)-H systems have been synthesized and, recently, Hong(2021:2101.02846) reported on the discovery of2/-SnHphase with superconducting transition temperature of∼ 70 K. Here we analyse the magnetoresistance data,(,), of2/-SnHphase and report that this superhydride exhibits the ground state superconducting gap of Δ(0) = 9.2 ± 0.5 meV, the ratio of 2Δ(0)/= 3.3 ± 0.2, and 0.010

Enhanced energy storage in antiferroelectrics via antipolar frustration.

Dielectric-based energy storage capacitors characterized with fast charging and discharging speed and reliability play a vital role in cutting-edge electrical and electronic equipment. In pursuit of capacitor miniaturization and integration, dielectrics must offer high energy density and efficiency. Antiferroelectrics with antiparallel dipole configurations have been of significant interest for high-performance energy storage due to their negligible remanent polarization and high maximum polarization in the field-induced ferroelectric state.

A Molecular Perspective of Exciton Condensation from Particle-Hole Reduced Density Matrices.

Department of Chemistry and The James Franck Institute, The University of Chicago, Chicago, Illinois 60637, United States.

Exciton condensation, the Bose-Einstein-like condensation of quasibosonic particle-hole pairs, has been the subject of much theoretical and experimental interest and holds promise for ultraenergy-efficient technologies. Recent advances in bilayer systems, such as transition metal dichalcogenide heterostructures, have brought us closer to the experimental realization of exciton condensation without the need for high magnetic fields. In this perspective, we explore progress toward understanding and realizing exciton condensation, with a particular focus on the characteristic theoretical signature of exciton condensation: an eigenvalue greater than one in the particle-hole reduced density matrix, which signifies off-diagonal long-range order.

Phase transition and superconductivity of selenium under pressure.

Institute of Atomic and Molecular Physics, Sichuan University, Chengdu 610065, China.

Although a substantial amount of research has been conducted to unravel the structural configurations of selenium under pressure, the exquisite sensitivity of selenium's p-orbital electrons to this external force, leading to a plethora of structural variations, leaves several intermediary phases still shrouded in mystery. We, herein, systematically identify the structural and electronic transformations of selenium under high pressure up to 300 GPa, employing crystal structure prediction in conjunction with first-principles calculations. Our results for the transition sequence (321 → 2/ → 3̄ → 3̄) of selenium are in good agreement with experimental ones.

The discovery of high-temperature superconductivity in LaNiO under pressure has drawn great attention. However, consensus has not been reached on its pairing symmetry in theory. By combining density-functional-theory (DFT), maximally-localized-Wannier-function, and linearized gap equation with random-phase-approximation, we find that the pairing symmetry of LaNiO is d, if its DFT band structure is accurately reproduced by a downfolded bilayer two-orbital model.
