Mechanism for the Structural Transformation to the Modulated Superconducting Phase of Compressed Hydrogen Sulfide
Bibliographic record
Abstract
Abstract A comprehensive description of crystal and electronic structures, structural transformations, and pressure-dependent superconducting temperature (Tc) of hydrogen sulfide (H2S) compressed from low pressure is presented through the analysis of the results from metadynamics simulations. It is shown that local minimum metastable crystal structures obtained are dependent on the choice of pressure-temperature thermodynamic paths. The origin of the recently proposed ‘high-Tc’ superconducting phase with a modulated structure and a diffraction pattern reproducing two independent experiments was the low pressure Pmc21 structure. This Pmc21 structure is found to transform to a Pc structure at 80 K and 80 GPa which becomes metallic and superconductive above 100 GPa. This structure becomes dynamically unstable above 140 GPa beyond which phonon instability sets in at about a quarter in the Γ to Y segment. This explains the transformation to a 1:3 modulation structure at high pressures proposed previously. The pressure trend of the calculated Tc for the Pc structure is consistent with the experimentally measured ‘low-Tc phase’. Fermi surface analysis hints that pressurized hydrogen sulfide may be a multi-band superconductor. The theoretical results reproduced many experimental characteristics, suggesting that the dissociation of H2S is unrequired to explain the superconductivity of compressed H2S at any pressure.

Full frame machine prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one source (direct Gemma or distilled Codex), not a consensus.
