Lanthanum decahydrideis apolyhydrideor superhydride compound oflanthanumand hydrogen (LaH10) that has shown evidence of being a high-temperaturesuperconductor.It was the first metal superhydride to be theoretically predicted,[2][3]synthesized,[4]and experimentally confirmed[5]to superconduct at near room-temperatures. It has a superconducting transition temperature TCaround 250 K (−23 °C; −10 °F) at a pressure of 150 gigapascals (22×10^6psi), and its synthesis required pressures above approximately 160 gigapascals (23×10^6psi).[6][7]

Synopsis

[edit]

Since its discovery in 2019,[8]the superconducting properties of LaH10and otherlanthanum-based superhydrides have been experimentally confirmed in multiple independent experiments.[9][10][11][12]The compound exhibits aMeissner effectbelow the superconducting transition temperature.[13]A cubic form can be synthesized at 1,000 K (730 °C; 1,340 °F),[6]and a hexagonal crystal structure can be formed at room temperature.[14]Further reports indicate Tcis increased withnitrogendoping,[15]and decreased with the introduction of magnetic impurities.[16]

The cubic form has each lanthanum atom surrounded by 32 hydrogen atoms, which form the vertices of an 18-faced shape called achamfered cube.[17]

A similar compound,lanthanum boron octahydride,was computationally predicted to be a superconductor at 126 K (−147 °C; −233 °F) and pressure 50 gigapascals (7.3×10^6psi).[18]
