Pressure-driven superconductivity and unexpected semiconducting behavior in Li-Pt electrides (opens in new tab)

Author(s): Xinrui Jia, Yao Sun, Ailing Liu, Shoutao Zhang, Xin Zhong, and Hanyu LiuLithium-abundant electrides, characterized by the presence of interstitial anionic electrons, have attracted considerable attention owing to their extraordinary properties, including superconductivity. Here, we conduct comprehensive first-principles structure-prediction simulations to investigate th…[Phys. Rev. B 113, 214515] Published Wed Jun 17, 2026
