Molecular hydrogen in the N-doped LuH₃ system as a possible path to superconductivity.

ABSTRACT: The discovery of ambient superconductivity would mark an epochal breakthrough long-awaited for over a century, potentially ushering in unprecedented scientific and technological advancements. The recent findings on high-temperature superconducting phases in various hydrides under high pressure have ignited optimism, suggesting that the realization of near-ambient superconductivity might be on the horizon. However, the preparation of hydride samples tends to promote the emergence of various metastable phases, marked by a low level of experimental reproducibility. Identifying these phases through theoretical and computational methods entails formidable challenges, often resulting in controversial outcomes. In this paper, we consider N-doped LuH₃ as a prototypical complex hydride:
