Phonon-mediated high-T(c) superconductivity in hole-doped diamond-like crystalline hydrocarbon
We here predict by ab initio calculations phonon-mediated high-T (c) superconductivity in hole-doped diamond-like cubic crystalline hydrocarbon K (4)-CH (space group I2(1)/3). This material possesses three key properties: (i) an all-sp (3) covalent carbon framework that produces high-frequency phono...

description | We here predict by ab initio calculations phonon-mediated high-T (c) superconductivity in hole-doped diamond-like cubic crystalline hydrocarbon K (4)-CH (space group I2(1)/3). This material possesses three key properties: (i) an all-sp (3) covalent carbon framework that produces high-frequency phonon modes, (ii) a steep-rising electronic density of states near the top of the valence band, and (iii) a Fermi level that lies in the σ-band, allowing for a strong coupling with the C-C bond-stretching modes. The simultaneous presence of these properties generates remarkably high superconducting transition temperatures above 80 K at an experimentally accessible hole doping level of only a few percent. These results identify a new extraordinary electron-phonon superconductor and pave the way for further exploration of this novel superconducting covalent metal. |
