Enhancement of superconducting properties in the La–Ce–H system at moderate pressures
2023
Overview
Ternary hydrides are regarded as an important platform for exploring high-temperature superconductivity at relatively low pressures. Here, we successfully synthesized the
hcp
-(La,Ce)H
9-10
at 113 GPa with the initial La/Ce ratio close to 3:1. The high-temperature superconductivity was strikingly observed at 176 K and 100 GPa with the extrapolated upper critical field
H
c2
(0) reaching 235 T. We also studied the binary La-H system for comparison, which exhibited a
T
c
of 103 K at 78 GPa. The
T
c
and
H
c2
(0) of the La-Ce-H are respectively enhanced by over 80 K and 100 T with respect to the binary La-H and Ce-H components. The experimental results and theoretical calculations indicate that the formation of the solid solution contributes not only to enhanced stability but also to superior superconducting properties. These results show how better superconductors can be engineered in the new hydrides by large addition of alloy-forming elements.
Recently, high-temperature superconductivity has been reported in LaH
10
and CeH
10
. Here, the authors report superconductivity in the alloy (La,Ce)H
9-10
with
T
c
= 176 K at 100 GPa, providing an improved compromise between high transition temperature and low pressure requirements.
