Design Principles for High-Temperature Superconductors with a Hydrogen-Based Alloy Backbone at Moderate Pressure
Bibliographic record
Abstract
Hydrogen-based superconductors provide a route to the long-sought goal of room-temperature superconductivity, but the high pressures required to metallize these materials limit their immediate application. For example, carbonaceous sulfur hydride, the first room-temperature superconductor made in a laboratory, can reach a critical temperature (T_{c}) of 288 K only at the extreme pressure of 267 GPa. The next recognized challenge is the realization of room-temperature superconductivity at significantly lower pressures. Here, we propose a strategy for the rational design of high-temperature superconductors at low pressures by alloying small-radius elements and hydrogen to form ternary H-based superconductors with alloy backbones. We identify a "fluorite-type" backbone in compositions of the form AXH_{8}, which exhibit high-temperature superconductivity at moderate pressures compared with other reported hydrogen-based superconductors. The Fm3[over ¯]m phase of LaBeH_{8}, with a fluorite-type H-Be alloy backbone, is predicted to be thermodynamically stable above 98 GPa, and dynamically stable down to 20 GPa with a high T_{c}∼185 K. This is substantially lower than the synthesis pressure required by the geometrically similar clathrate hydride LaH_{10} (170 GPa). Our approach paves the way for finding high-T_{c} ternary H-based superconductors at conditions close to ambient pressures.

Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model 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 teacher head, not a consensus.
