| Talk Title: Superconductivity of hydrogen-rich metal hydride Li5MoH11 under high pressure Talk Place: M253 Talk Time: 11-Oct-2018 10:00 am Hydrogen was predicted to show metallic behavior and even a possible high-temperature superconductor under sufficient pressurization. While the high pressure is beyond the present experimental conditions, it is predicted that hydrogen-rich compounds could be metallic and superconductive under comparable lower pressure than that of pure hydrogen. The so-called "hydrogen-rich" metal hydrides, Li5MoH11 with 11 hydrogens in the unit cell was investigated. The similar hydrides BaReH9 was reported to be superconductor with a transition temperature (Tc) near 7 K above 100 GPa [T. Muramatu et al., J. Phys. Chem. C 119, 18007 (2015)]. The valence band of Li5MoH11 is dominated by the hydrogen 1s orbital [S. Takagi et al., Sci. Rep. 7, 44253 (2017)]. Thus, Li5MoH11 can be expected to show the metallization and possible high-Tc superconductivity, whose character comes from hydrogen. The observation of superconducting behavior and structural phase transition as a function of pressure about Li5MoH11 will be exhibited. |
