Prediction of high-temperature superconductors at ambient pressure with diamond-like structures: B2CX (X = N, P)

Phys. Chem. Chem. Phys., 2024, Advance Article
DOI: 10.1039/D4CP03755C, Paper
Yi Wan, Ying-Jie Chen, Shu-Xiang Qiao, Kai-Yue Jiang, Guo-Hua Liu, Na Jiao, Ping Zhang, Hong-Yan Lu
We predict B2CX (X = N, P) are standard phonon-mediated superconductors with Tc = 44.3–46.1 K, higher than most diamond-like superconductors. Coupling between metallic σ electrons and softened E phonons contributes greatly to their superconductivity.
