Realistic representation of quantum interactions between electrons and phonons is crucial to uncovering the fundamental origin of superconductivity and predicting superconductors with a high transition temperature (Tc). We study the influence of the intrinsic electron-phonon interaction (EPI) on the phonon transport of superconducting hydrogen sulfide at high pressures, and its variation under an external magnetic field using all-electron first-principles calculations. High pressure greatly…

Perspective on multi-scale simulation of thermal transport in solids and interfaces.
TLDR
The advantages and disadvantages of computational methods for mono-scale heat transfer and the state-of-the-art multi- scale thermal transport modeling are summarized and a few important aspects of the future development of multi-scale modeling are discussed, in particular with the aid of modern machine learning and uncertainty quantification techniques.
The origin of intrinsic charge transport for Dirac carbon sheet materials: roles of acetylenic linkage and electron-phonon couplings.
TLDR
The phonon-limited charge transport properties of α- graphyne, α-graphdiyne (α-GDY), and β-graphyne (β-GY) were investigated using the Boltzmann transport equation within the first-principles framework while considering the electron-phonon coupling (EPC).

The macroscopic thermal transport is fundamentally determined by the intrinsic interactions among microscopic electrons and phonons. In conventional insulators and semiconductors, phonons dominate…
Conventional superconductivity at 203 kelvin at high pressures in the sulfur hydride system
TLDR
S sulfur hydride is investigated, and it is argued that the phase responsible for high-Tc superconductivity in this system is likely to be H3S, formed from H2S by decomposition under pressure, which raises hope for the prospects for achieving room-temperature super conductivity in other hydrogen-based materials.
Spectroscopic evidence of a new energy scale for superconductivity in H3S.
TLDR
A first optical spectroscopy study of H3S, a superconducting phase in sulfur hydride under high pressure with a critical temperature above 200 K, provides strong evidence of a conventional mechanism and an unusually strong optical phonon suggests a contribution of electronic degrees of freedom.
High-pressure hydrogen sulfide from first principles: a strongly anharmonic phonon-mediated superconductor.
TLDR
First-principles calculations are used to study structural, vibrational, and superconducting properties of H2S and H3S and show that High-pressure hydrogen sulfide is a strongly anharmonic superconductor.
Quantum hydrogen-bond symmetrization in the superconducting hydrogen sulfide system
TLDR
It is shown that an analogous quantum symmetrization occurs in the recently discovered sulfur hydride superconductor with a superconducting transition temperature Tc of 203 kelvin at 155 gigapascals—the highest Tc reported for any super Conductor so far.
