Abstract:
We report on a first-principles study of the phase diagram, structures and properties of the Ru-H system in the H-rich regime over a wide range of pressures. The results show that RuH is thermodynamically stable and can coexist with RuH3 and RuH6 under pressure. RuH and RuH3 stoichiometries exhibit metallic character as a result of notable band structures, while RuH6 is a semiconductor. Strikingly, some hydrogen atoms pairwise couple into H2 units in the RuH6 compound. An estimation of superconducting transition temperature Tc is carried out by applying the Allen-Dynes modified McMillan equation for Fm3[combining macron]m (RuH), Pm3[combining macron]m (RuH3), and Pm3[combining macron]n (RuH3) structures and the resulting Tc reaches 0.41, 3.57 and 1.25 K at different pressures, respectively.
