Abstract

Search for stable high-pressure compounds in the Ti-H system reveals the existence of titanium hydrides with new stoichiometries, including Ibam−Ti2H5, I4/m−Ti5H13, I4¯−Ti5H14, Fddd−TiH4, Immm−Ti2H13, P1¯−TiH12, and C2/m−TiH22. Our calculations predict I4/mmm→R3¯m and I4/mmm→ Cmma transitions in TiH and TiH2, respectively. Phonons and the electron-phonon coupling in all searched titanium hydrides are analyzed at high pressure. It is found that Immm−Ti2H13, rather than the hydrogen-richest C2/m−TiH22, exhibits the highest superconducting critical temperature Tc. The estimated Tc of Immm−Ti2H13 and C2/m−TiH22 are, respectively, 127.4–149.4 K (μ*=0.1–0.15) at 350 GPa and 91.3–110.2 K at 250 GPa, as found by numerically solving the Eliashberg equations.
