AI 中文摘要

高压下的富氢材料是常规声子介导超导性的候选材料,但第一性原理电子-声子耦合(EPC)计算在计算上要求很高。我们开发了一个可解释的多阶段工作流程,用于在完整EPC计算之前对二元氢化物超导体进行优先级排序。使用200 GPa下受控的立方$X_m$H$_n$原型,我们引入谱矩$A_1$作为电子-声子扰动强度的中间度量。在其基于线宽的构造中,$A_1$在谐波声子软化时保持有限,从而允许筛选具有虚谐波模式的相关结构;它并不确立不稳定结构的超导性或物理可实现性。对于动态稳定的立方系统,$A_1$与费米能级处的H-$1s$态密度分数$\alpha$、投影费米表面描述符$\beta$和原子数密度$\rho$强相关。这些趋势通过$A_1\approx h\alpha\beta\rho$启发式总结,其中$h$取决于框架和压力;该描述符用于排序,而非作为通用的$T_c$预测器。我们将$\alpha\beta\rho$和焓竞争力纳入一个三阶段进化搜索,包括多目标结构筛选、谐波声子稳定性过滤和粗粒度密度泛函微扰理论(DFPT)EPC计算。应用于50和200 GPa下超过100,000个二元氢化物结构,识别出候选物并优先考虑NaH$_6$结构族。更高精度的计算表明,$Pm\bar{3}m$ NaH$_6$在低至50 GPa时动态稳定,谐波Allen-Dynes估计$T_c\approx230$~K。该框架结合电子描述符与逐步更昂贵的稳定性和EPC计算,用于可扩展的氢化物探索。

英文摘要

Hydrogen-rich materials under pressure are candidates for conventional phonon-mediated superconductivity, but first-principles electron--phonon-coupling (EPC) calculations are computationally demanding. We develop an interpretable multistage workflow for prioritizing binary hydride superconductors before full EPC calculations. Using controlled cubic $X_m$H$_n$ prototypes at 200~GPa, we introduce the spectral moment $A_1$ as an intermediate measure of electron--phonon perturbation strength. In its linewidth-based construction, $A_1$ remains finite as harmonic phonons soften, allowing related structures with imaginary harmonic modes to be screened; it does not establish superconductivity or physical realizability for unstable structures. For dynamically stable cubic systems, $A_1$ correlates strongly with the H-$1s$ density-of-states fraction at the Fermi level, $α$, a projected Fermi-surface descriptor, $β$, and atomic number density, $ρ$. These trends are summarized heuristically by $A_1\approx hαβρ$, where $h$ is framework- and pressure-dependent; the descriptor is used for ranking, not as a universal $T_c$ predictor. We incorporate $αβρ$ and enthalpic competitiveness into a three-stage evolutionary search comprising multiobjective structural screening, harmonic-phonon stability filtering, and coarse density-functional perturbation-theory (DFPT) EPC calculations. Application to more than 100,000 binary hydride structures at 50 and 200~GPa identifies candidates and prioritizes NaH$_6$ structural families. Higher-accuracy calculations show that $Pm\bar{3}m$ NaH$_6$ is dynamically stable down to 50~GPa and has a harmonic Allen--Dynes estimate of $T_c\approx230$~K. The framework combines electronic descriptors with progressively more expensive stability and EPC calculations for scalable hydride exploration.
