Prediction of ambient pressure conventional superconductivity above 80 K in hydride compounds

Abstract The primary challenge in the field of high-temperature superconductivity in hydrides is to achieve a superconducting state at ambient pressure rather than the extreme pressures that have been required in experiments so far. Here, we propose a family of compounds, of composition Mg2XH6 with...
