First-principles study of superconducting hydrogen sulfide at pressure up to 500 GPa

Abstract We investigate the possibility of achieving the room-temperature superconductivity in hydrogen sulfide (H3S) through increasing external pressure, a path previously widely used to reach metallization and superconducting state in novel hydrogen-rich materials. The electronic properties and s...
