Synthesis of practical high temperature superconductors in hydrogen-rich materials
California State University Northridge (CSUN) will support and supply scientific research support for a LDRD project at Sandia National Laboratory (SNL) focused on the synthesis and characterization of lanthanide based superhydrides (LnHx, x > 3). The research at CSUN will focus on the preparation and synthesis of La0, Y0, Yb0, LaHx, YHx, and YbHx species that can serve as precursors for the preparation of nanopa...
