Abstract High pressure is an effective method to induce structural and electronic changes, creating novel high-pressure structures with excellent physical and chemical properties. Herein, we investigate the structural phase transition of hafnium dihydrogen (HfH2) in a pressure range of 0 GPa-500 GPa through the first-principles calculations and the crystal structure analysis by particle swarm optimization (CALYPSO) code. The high-pressure phase transition sequence of HfH2 is I4/mmm→Cmma→P-3m1 and the two phase transition pressure points are 220.21 GPa and 359.18 GPa, respectively. A newly trigonal P-3m1 structure with 10-fold coordination first appears as an energy superior structure under high pressure. These three structures are all metallic with the internal ionic bonding of Hf and H atoms. Moreover, the superconducting transition temperature (Tc) values of Cmma at 300 GPa and P-3m1 at 500 GPa are 3.439 K and 19.737 K, respectively. Interestingly, the superconducting transition temperature of the P-3m1 structure presents an upward trend with the pressure rising, which can be attributed to the increase of electron-phonon coupling caused by the enhanced Hf-d electronic density of states at Fermi level under high pressure.

Altmetric calculates a score based on the online attention an article receives. Each coloured thread in the circle represents a different type of online attention. The number in the centre is the Altmetric score. Social media and mainstream news media are the main sources that calculate the score. Reference managers such as Mendeley are also tracked but do not contribute to the score. Older articles often score higher because they have had more time to get noticed. To account for this, Altmetric has included the context data for other articles of a similar age.
